Skullgirls is ready to make its return to PlayStation 3, following last year's complicated divorce with former publisher Konami. With MarvelousAQL now proudly carrying Lab Zero's old-timey-themed fighting game forward, Skullgirls Encore will do battle once again on February 11.

Skullgirls Encore will play closer to its PC counterpart and also feature its DLC character, the zombie opera singer Squigly. Because existing Skullgirls owners will need to download Encore as a whole separate game, Lab Zero hopes to soften the inconvenience by offering Squigly for free for the next three months.

Skullgirls Encore will also include a large patch upon release, which will add Typing of the Skullgirls and a slew of balance changes. The full patch notes can be found here. Skullgirls Encore will be available for $14.99 on PSN on Tuesday, with the Xbox Live Arcade version set to release soon after.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
