Cult series Zero Escape will be getting a sequel on the PlayStation Vita in Summer 2016, an anime panel in Los Angeles has revealed. Zero Escape 3 will continue the narrative of 999 and Virtue's Last Reward, with Spike Chunsoft and Aksys Games once again collaborating on the release. The title will be playable in both Japanese and English, and will feature fully-voiced cinematics, multiple endings, and returning characters.
While very little is known about the plot just yet, the teaser trailer that begins about 30 minutes into the embedded video details the fears of a woman who's concerned that she could be responsible for the deaths of six billion people. Judging from what we've read around the web, it sounds like the game will be set on Mars, which would probably put the population of planet Earth in danger. Perhaps?
While this overdue sequel never quite reached Shenmue III levels of fan clamouring, we suspect that the news will be welcomed by many of you. And if nothing else, it's nice to see some commitment to the Vita looking forward into 2016.

I've still not played VLR, as I'm waiting to finish off 999 first (I was playing it on my phone via an emulator before my screen broke, and I've not yet had the cash to repair it). However, I've really enjoyed what I played of 999 so far, so am looking forward to eventually getting round to it!
@SteveButler2210 I've had VLR installed on my Vita for about two years now, but still haven't touched it either...
I have 999 but haven't played it yet. I've heard good things about and I like to try different types of games.
@get2sammyb just picked it up in the sale, can't see when I'll get time
To everyone above, play both! And play to get all the endings. The true ending with are canon are fantastic. Plus any game that revolves around quantum mechanics while incorporating the term Momento Mori has my full fledged backing.
Vlr is great but I understand that it needs a substantial time until it hooked. Just like many visual novels alike, it will be like a glue after the middle part of the story
Been wanting this sequel for ages.
I will be playing VLR soon but I would really want to start with 999 first, such a shame that it is not available in any form on the PSN - i personally think that, since a third installment is now officially announced, they should somehow get 999 on the PSN too, even if its the "novel-only" iOS version - for starters like me it would be great to experience the whole story from the start, not just from VLR
