Sony and the game's developers today announced that the title, which has been available on PC, Mac, and Xbox 360, will be arriving on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. The team always wanted to bring the game to Sony's systems, but were tied up in deals that did not allow them to do so.

"Earlier this year, Team Meat got an unexpected gift," the developer explained on the PlayStation Blog. "The gods smiled upon them and opened up a teeny tiny sliver of a path that could eventually lead them to re-release Super Meat Boy. Even though the path would be difficult they knew they owed it to their fans to at least try.

"Fast forward to today. We walked that arduous path and with a lot of hard work, a little convincing, and huge scoops of luck we are now here today with huge smiles on our faces to say: SUPER MEAT BOY IS COMING TO PS4 AND PLAYSTATION VITA!"

Even better for fans, the game will be made free at launch to PlayStation Plus subscribers as a reward for their patience. Super Meat Boy will arrive in fall 2015 (date unspecified for now). You can watch the unusual, amusing announcement trailer below, which skips gameplay footage for...something else entirely. You can watch an actual gameplay trailer here to get an idea of what Super Meat Boy is like, for those who have not played.
