Ubisoft picks up the publishing rights to Cloudberry Kingdom

cloudberry_kingdomBack when Cloudberry Kingdom was first revealed for Wii U and PC, developer Pwnee Studios announced that it’d be using Kickstarter to crowd-fund the challenging platformer – mainly due to the indie studio’s reluctance to pair with a publisher.

Similar to Rayman LegendsCloudberry Kingdom will launch in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U sometime during Summer.

With regards to the Nintendo 3DS, a port for the handheld isn’t currently in the works, although Pwnee Studios’ team leader doesn’t rule out a conversion at some point in the future:

“It’s still in our minds, we would really love to do a 3DS port. I’m not giving up on it yet, I would say there’s still a chance.”
