Shank release date announced for PSN/XBLA

EA Partners has finally announced the release date for the long awaited Klei Entertainment title, Shank for PSN and XBLA.

We first reported about the game in May 2009 and are pleased to be able to tell you that Shank will be released on August 24th on PSN and August 25th for XBLA! The pricing has been confirmed as 1200 Microsoft Points / $14.99.

On the Shank blog it’s been officially confirmed that the game will also include a separate co-op mode, which sets up the backstory to the main single player game – sadly this is local co-op only, but good enough reason to get a friend round at the end of August for double the shanking!
