PS Vita Exclusives Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice Servers To Shutter

PS Vita, Freedom Wars

Sony isn’t done trying to wipe the PlayStation Vita from existence. From halting the console’s production altogether to making an effort to axe the console’s store to outright not allowing developers to submit games, Sony is clearly trying to kill it. Now, it seems two PS Vita exclusives, Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice, are on the chopping block in some way.

According to PlayStation Japan (via PSU), the two multiplayer-centric games are going to see their servers decommissioned for good. Both games aren’t inoperable without servers, it can be played solo, but a large part of its appeal was its online multiplayer. You could still play with others locally, but you might be hard-pressed to find a person who both has a PS Vita and a copy of either of those two games.

This is kind of a nail in the coffin to some as both Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice had a decently active and dedicated community backing it. Both servers are going to shutter on December 24.

Freedom Wars Hitting North American, European Vitas

The PSP was home to a great many awesome JRPGs. How's about a new one for the Vita?

Sony has finally confirmed that Freedom Wars will release in the North American and European territories. As reported by IGN , it'll hit US store shelves on October 28 and three days later in Europe. European Vita owners will also have the option of a digital copy, which comes to the PSN on October 29.

"Participating retailers" will offer some pre-order incentives, which will be the same Japanese gamers received when the game launched in that region earlier this year. Bonuses include a Limited Edition Costume (Formal Wear), Powerful Starter Weapons (Heavey Melee and Rocket Launcher), an in-game Limited Edition Sticker Set, and a Combat Pack Item (Medical Supply Set).

If you're a die-hard JRPG fanatic and you need a new game to play on your Vita this fall, this is it.
