Last summer Skybound Games announced a partnership with Lab Zero Games to bring the hit 2D fighting game SKULLGIRLS 2ND ENCORE to Switch and Xbox One for the first time. For the fighting game fans among you, the wait will soon be over!
Skybound Games will release digital versions of Skullgirls 2nd Encore on both Xbox One and Switch this spring. And, guess what? Today we’re opening pre-orders for a Limited Edition, boxed version for Nintendo Switch that you can only get here on Skybound.com!
The Skullgirls 2nd Encore Limited Edition box is $49.99 and includes:
• Skullgirls Encore Switch Cartridge with all previous DLC
• Skullgirls Switch Controller Skin
• Skullgirls Original Soundtrack, by composer Michiru Yamane, on a never-before-released 12” Vinyl Record
And, when they’re gone, they’re gone. You can only get this on Skybound.com and for a limited time RIGHT HERE! So, Skullgirls fans, I wouldn’t wait long on this one.
Not familiar with Skullgirls? Gasp! It’s a fast-paced 2d fighting game that puts you in control of fierce warriors in an extraordinary Dark Deco world. It’s a modern take on classic arcade fighters with a high-definition, hand-drawn twist. Originally released in 2012, Skullgirls has amassed a dedicated fanbase over the years releasing across multiple platforms, but never before seen on Switch or Xbox One! And, now its finally coming to these anticipated new platforms from yours truly, Skybound Games.
Headed to PAX East in Boston this March? Come by the Skybound Games booth to challenge our team in Skullgirls 2nd Encore. We’ll have it playable on Nintendo Switch in the booth.

When do we receive a charge for the preorder?
Yes
Already got my order in.
When will this be getting to Xbox. Been trying to download Skullgirls all night but I can’t do it digitally. Thought I’d buy a physical copy but there isn’t one and know I don’t know when I can eat one only that there’s should be one in spring, but I swear springs coming to an end. I want this game
I put my order in awhile ago…when is it expected to ship out?
My questions exacrly
I’d love to know that too. I guess they don’t care about consumer questions?
Has anyone found out yet?
Sorry I missed this. Ships in June, I don’t have the exact date yet.
Will this have a manual like what Limited Run Games did for the PS4 version?
When will these be released,I paid for my preorder when first anounced
I am VERY unhappy with Skybound at this point. I preordered this for my son in April. I then found out the “limited edition” version would not be released until June. I have sent several emails this month asking if they Had an approximate shipping date and NO response.
Please sell more physical copies!!!!!! I didn’t know about this and I desperately want one. Ugh Limited Releases are awful…..
Its already June 14 and no release date wtf skybound sucks and it will be the last time I order from you guys the least you could do is respond back to people instead of making them wait in the dark.
Still no news on when it ships..
Just got a quick update from a Skybound representative via email. I asked if June was still on the table for shipping:
“Thank you so much for your question. Currently the Skullgirls pre-order won’t begin shipping until late June, but this is still subject to change.”
So there ya go. Should be still ship in June as of 6/16.
I’m interested in the new D&D switch preorder but how long this skull girls release is going im gonna have to wait and see. Hope you guys didn’t give up on this game.
We can still get the game at a later date without the limited edition stuff right? Or is the whole game just limited edition?
So, is this still happening?
July 6 and still no game or explanation … this defently the first and last time I buy from this site
I received the following email on June 21st. Not sure if everyone who purchased the limited edition received the email or those who sent an email asking for a status update, but here it is.
Dear Skullgirls fans!
First off, thank you for pre-ordering the Limited Edition version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore for the Nintendo Switch. We love this game as much as you do and can’t wait to get the Switch version out the door with the Vinyl Soundtrack and other goodies.
That said, we have some unfortunate news. While we had originally planned to ship the Limited Edition to pre-order customers in June, we’ve hit a production hiccup that is going to delay release of the game and shipment of the Limited Edition physical items to you until late summer/early fall.
As a gesture of our appreciation for the patience of customers that chose to maintain their order, we will provide a digital download code for the Switch version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore 6 weeks before physical copies are shipped. We will be back in touch with you on that!
When are we supposed to get our digital copies and physical copies and vinyl record? It’s almost September and still no additional news.
I received this email on 8/9/19.
There was a production delay with the pack. We’re looking at a September ship date.
Aren’t we supposed to get the free digital code ? 6 week prior to ship ? You say September well it’s september And no email
That is what the email I received June 21st said, a digital copy 6 weeks prior to the physical copy.
I pre-ordered this without making an official skybound account so I have no way of getting updates or shipment tracking. Does anyone know how what I can do? I’m worried it won’t come in lol.
At this point, you’ll probably get your pre-order when everyone else does. They aren’t telling anybody anything bout the game.
It’s 2020 now, and this is my first time using one of these services to get a physical copy of a digital game. If it wasn’t for the fact that I got a free digital copy to give away and have someone to play with. I’d say this has been one if the worst services I’ve used. Like its almost been a year at this point and I haven’t received an update since Spetember. I can’t believe it’s 4 months since the last update telling me that the game would be shipped in December, and it’s February now I am really disappointed
You too?
I got the soundtrack and the sticker decal, but have yet to get my oh Physical copy of the game
There was even a Nintendo Direct yesterday and they didn’t mention a single thing about this game. Is this even still being ported over?
Is there any word aboit this yet we’ve been waiting quite a long time and ive decided to stick it through this long but its really getting absurd.
How do I cancel my order? At this point I don’t care about the game anymore.
Can we at Least get an update??? It’s been so damn long since we’ve gotten any info. Can we at least get an answer for the question of “Are we still getting it?” honestly just please tell us if it’s still something where gonna get or if it’s been canceled. At least answer that question
Any news or comment on the games release? It says September , it’s almost over and no update. We have been waiting since June. I stilll want my game and all, I have no plans in refunds, I just want to know what’s going on with the game.

Can I just buy the game instead of everything else?
Fun fact guys: this is the wrong place to ask questions and post complaints, as this is not actually skybound, but indeed Somone who is just telling us about it. If we want any answers we have to actually contact skybound, and not rattle Brian’s ears with our complaints.
Have you tried emailing them directly? They do not respond with any quickness The last time I sent an email it took them 2 months to reply. .
Looks like someone scammed a bunch of people. I’m sure the law would love this. All these people getting scammed out of 50$. Who owns the domain? Where is it hosted? Where do the people in charge of both live?
Time to figure these things out, people. 🙂

Here is an update. It is that an update is coming. Lol
How is it every other game new site knows when this game is coming out, yet we can’t get an answer here as to when our items will be delivered?

still waiting for the physical copy skybound whats the hold up smh 🙁
I ordered this a while ago, and although I did receive a downloadable code via email upon release. I never receive my physical copy of the game. I did receive the soundtrack along with the sticker decal. But my order did not include the actual physical copy inside the box.
Is there still a delay in the physical copy for the switch? Because that was the problem originally, hence why people who preordered it got the digital code. I just want to know why I haven’t receive any info
