Lab Zero Games’ Skullgirls Encore has been delayed into early 2015 for the PlayStation 4 and Vita as revealed on the PlayStation Blog. The delay is in order to expand the project’s scope. The anime-esque 2D fighter takes cues from Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in its gameplay in that you can unleash supers and set up three fighter teams for combat.

The delay is interesting because Eliza, a third character, has been added to the PlayStation 4 version. The character will be available as DLC for free in the coming three months. You’ll have to pay for it after the three month waiting period is up but if you get it now, it’s completely free.

Aside from “early 2015” there doesn’t seem to be any indication as to when the PS4/Vita port will be out. It could just as easily be out in March as it could in May so stay tuned for more information on the same.

Reverge Labs’ Skullgirls Encore will be available tomorrow to PlayStation Plus subscribers in the US and they can download the game for free to add to their Instant Game Collection. Other deals including content for free to play titles like Blacklight Retribution, DC Universe Online and Dust 514 are also detailed.

Skullgirls Encore is a fighting game that sees you playing as some rough and tumble “Skullgirls” in a vivid 2D fighting style. You can play as Cerebella with her living hat, the immortal Ms. Fortune who dismembers herself as part of her attacks and many more. There are several new stages, music and gameplay updates available as part of the Encore version.

The PlayStation Store will update tomorrow to include Skullgirls Encore, so you have less than a day to pick up other Instant Game Collection titles like Unit 13 for the PS Vita and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for the PS3.

After reporting on the PlayStation Plus titles that European subscribers would be receiving for free, it was recently revealed what North America subscribers would be receiving.

PS4 users will also be getting Stick it to the Man! on PS4 and Puppeteer on the PlayStation 3 so you can rest assured of some awesome content. Sports fans will have the option of PES 2014 while beat ’em up enthusiasts will have Skullgirls Encore to indulge in. Both games will be on PlayStation 3.

Meanwhile, PS Vita fans will receive two free titles in the form of Limbo and Surge Deluxe, the former being one of the best and most visually appealing platformers of all time.

These games will be available for download on April 30th as part of the Instant Game Collection. Do you see anything you like? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below as well as what you look forward to for next month.
