Capy Clarifies Below's Xbox One Exclusivity

Developer Capy has clarified the release status of Below, its stylish roguelike that the team unveiled during Microsoft's E3 2013 press conference.

In an open letter posted on the developer's website, Capy co-founder Nathan Vella and creative director Kris Piotrowski wrote, "Like many games on stage at E3, Below will be available on the Xbox One first. Then, after a period of time, CAPY can bring it elsewhere. It’s always been this way."

The pair went on to praise their relationship with Microsoft, stating, "We’ve said it many times before, but it is worth repeating: working with Microsoft Studios has been great, and they deserve real kudos for putting our dreamy roguelike-inspired game of exploration and discovery in the spotlight at E3… and we are certain they’ll continue to do more of that going forward. This clarification is about answering our fans, and shouldn’t reflect negatively on Microsoft or Xbox One – they’ve been the biggest CAPY supporters out there (and also lets face it: Titanfall and Halo are going to be crazy delicious game magic). The Xbox 360 has been a great home for marquee downloadable games, and we believe this is something that will continue, and grow, over the years on Xbox One."

Alongside Below, Capy is working on Super T.I.M.E. Force, which is set to hit XBLA later this year.
