Way back in early 2008, PixelJunk Monsters launched on western PlayStation 3s, and it was a pretty big hit. It’s a tower defense game with a lot of charm. When it came to PSP the next year, gamers loved it even more. And now, a new, updated version of the game is coming to PS Vita.
Q-Games is the studio behind the PixelJunk franchise, but the port is being handled mostly by Double Eleven, who was behind bringing LittleBigPlanet (and more recently Limbo) to Sony’s new handheld. “Monsters Ultimate HD has more than 30 hours of gameplay set across story and challenge levels,” Double Eleven’s COO Mark South explains. “All of the graphics have been remastered for the PS Vita’s high-resolution screen, and we added touchscreen input to provide more control of Tikiman.”
“Ultimate HD includes the Encore expansion, as well as all the extra towers, enemies, and levels from the Deluxe edition last seen on PSP.” There’s no word yet on a planned release date.
