Back in February, I interviewed the creator of the original La-Mulana, Takumi Naramura, who not only gave me insight to his upcoming sequel to the game, but also a deliberate tease at the original making its way to a criminally under-appreciated platform.

When I asked him whether the original La-Mulana would come to Playstation Vita still, he replied with:

“Just the other day I went and spoke to a company about porting to Vita. I think we can announce something soon, and if a playable version is made I would like to exhibit it somewhere.”

It seems like now is the time for that announcement, as the original La-Mulana is finally coming to Playstation Vita, by the team at Pygmy Studio. Tentatively titled La-Mulana Portable, the game is reportedly coming with new features.

You can expect La-Mulana Portable on the Playstation Vita sometime this December. In the meantime, read up on La-Mulana’s ambitious sequel, which is being developed in house by the original team at Nigoro, and localized by our friends at PLAYISM.
