Patobox, a Kickstarter-funded game from Mexican developer Bromio that’s inspired by surreal comics and Punch-Out, released earlier in 2018 for Steam, and a bit later for the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 4. Unfortunately, the Vita version ended up being a bit of an issue. It was more work than originally anticipated to get Patobox running on the handheld, due to optimization and some coding that needed to be done to get it up and running. But fortunately, the long road to stark, black and white duck boxing on the PlayStation Vita is coming to an end. Patobox is finally set to launch for the Vita next week, on October 2, 2018.

The developers shared this news on the game’s Kickstarter page, and noted that Patobox is a cross-buy game. So if you buy it on either platform for $14.99, you’ll be able to give both versions a whirl. The team seems pretty excited about this release, which makes sense due to the extra challenge. And like in boxing, everyone loves an underdog, so seeing Patobox in motion on that screen will likely feel triumphant for developers and backers alike. Here’s a list of key features from Patobox‘s official website:

Innovative visual proposal, inspired by graphic novels and comics.
2D Art mixed with a 3D world that feels just as you were inside a comic book.
