Resident Evil: Revelations 2 PS Vita PlayStation

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is one of the surprise releases of 2015 so far, serving up a slice of survival horror that's both spooky and self-aware. With the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions already wrapped up, though, we had been starting to ponder where the promised PlayStation Vita edition had got to; fortunately, SCEA's Gio Corsi has provided a brief PlayStation Blog update.

The scare-a-thon will shuffle onto Sony's handheld format this summer, with Canadian developer Frima Studio handling the heavy lifting. It'll launch with all four episodes, as well as the excellent Raid Mode – but online co-op will be implemented post-release. "This is so that we can get the full game into your hands that much sooner," the Third-Party Production's director said.

As for portable specific features, the game will boast gyroscopic targeting, which has proven an enjoyable option in the likes of Uncharted: Golden Abyss. If the port's good, we reckon that this should be a welcome addition to the Vita's library – but the framerate wasn't perfect on the PS4, so the jury's still out. Fingers crossed, eh?
