'Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse' (ALL) Pre-Order Incentives

A psychically empowered lagomorph battling unusual and fearsome villains can mean only one thing: Freelance Police Sam & Max are coming for a new series of monthly episodic games.

As Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse opens, Max has been bestowed with a set of powerful psychic abilities from an unusual ancient source that he'll wield against the strongest and strangest foes the Freelance Police have ever faced. Join gaming's greatest dog and rabbit sleuths as they investigate the source of these powers, with manic Max exercising new and amazing abilities with each episode. Max's shape shifting, teleportation, mind reading and future sight powers prove particularly useful as intergalactic simians, eldritch gods, under-dwellers and an arcane scholar ruthlessly hunt down these powers for their own evil ends. The teaser trailer released today at www.samandmaxgames.com/thedevilsplayhouse gives a peek at the skewed humor of The Devil's Playhouse. The very first in-game screenshots and new concept art are also posted at the site.

The full series pre-order is now available on the PlayStation Store in North America

This is the first time Sony has executed a pre-order campaign, and we couldn’t be happier that the dog and bunny duo are leading the way.  Until the premiere of Episode 1: The Penal Zone, the full five part season can be purchased for just $29.99 ($5 savings from regular $34.95 series price).

The pre-order at the official website for Mac and PC pre-order campaign also continues through the April 15 series premiere.
