If there was ever anyone we’d expect to be supporting the PlayStation Vita in 2020, it’s the handheld’s long-time champion Colin Moriarty. The ex-IGN editor and current Sacred Symbols host is busy beavering away on a brand-new game with indie team Lillymo Games named Twin Breaker. Also due out on the PlayStation 4, this basic brick-breaker brings a new twist to a timeless classic by requiring you to control multiple paddles at once.
It’s also got a storyline, which Moriarty admits is somewhat superfluous. “I wanted to give context to the events of the game, even though the gameplay doesn’t really need (or even demand) context,” he wrote on his Patreon. “Giving an old-school-style game a story at all was really inspired, in a lot of ways, by Atlus’ wonderful Catherine, which gave Q*Bert meaning. So why can’t Arkanoid have meaning, too?!” It’s a fair question.
The title’s due out next year on both PS4 and PS Vita, and it’ll net you two Platinum Trophies for the ripe old sum of $9.99. We’re big fans of brick breakers, so this certainly looks entertaining – but we’re especially satisfied to see the PS Vita continue to be supported into a new decade.

Haven't played a Breakout-style game in a long time! Good on them for trying something a little different.
As a Sacred Symbols supporter I'll definitely be picking this up.
Lillymo's previous game, Habroxia, was a really fun arcade romp. This will be a fun time waster.
I’ll take any excuse to play Vita next year, it’s such a good wee console.
Sacred Symbols + pushsquare = all my video game news/updates
I can't wait to see the bad reviews just because "some" people hate Colin. Will buy tho...
No mention of chrisraygun? The other host of sacred symbols? One of the co creators too? It’s also his game.
EDIT: also to my knowledge chris made this trailer, he mentioned it in the podcast I think 2 weeks ago.
EDIT: watched the trailer, that’s literally his voice at the midway point.
I like collin sacred symbol podcast, I'll buy it to support them 😃
@Oriion Yup, agree 🙂
@Splat bad reviews because some people hate colin, make that a double feature with chris.
