Sony’s upcoming cooperative multiplayer game for the PlayStation Vita, Freedom Wars, has you play as a prisoner in a ruined world, forced to fight in wars as a way to mitigate your million year prison sentence. The game will have you fighting against giant enemies called Abductors. The latest issue of Famitsu shares some additional info following our earlier reports.
According to Famitsu, the Abductors who normally go around capturing civilians and your comrades might also be abducting you, the player, as well. However, you won’t be alone, as you’ll also have an allied android girl, who is responsible for keeping a close eye on the Criminals. This could possibly explain the female android who was shown getting her arm torn off by an Abductor in the recent trailer.
Freedom Wars 2 was also in the works
Publisher Bandai Namco and developer Dimps have announced Freedom Wars Remastered, a remastered version of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s 2014-released PS Vita action RPG including previously released downloadable content. It will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on January 9, 2025 in Japan and January 10 worldwide.
Crossing my fingers for Marvelous AQL to one day buy Soul Sacrifice from Sony as well.
Well well well...so this game came back. Great game. Has it's flaws but it was a fun playthrough. Still hoping to this day it gets a sequel. Definitely picking it up.
I really enjoyed this game for a while but it ran out of steam half way through. It was a great concept though
Oh my... I enjoyed this game so much on my vita.. Nice story, incredible gameplay, so fun. Totally unexpected, made my day!
So then, why don't you play it the way it was originally meant to be played? There's this big push to bring back the Vita, this ain't bringing back the Vita, this is the opposite of that
Maybe because.. servers are offline and im done playing only with a basic AI?
Sammy: "Two high-profile PS Vita exclusives, Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice, will have their servers deactivated on 24th December, 2021. Both titles, published by Sony in response to its loss of Monster Hunter exclusivity, were built around co-operative play, and maintained relatively dedicated communities to this day."
Oreshika is also getting it servers shut down too. Big shame for these games. Honestly some of Vita's gems.
I'm surprised these were even still up! Loved the Vita though, had some great times with that handheld.
These games deserve sequels or remakes. It was Soul Sacrifice that even got me into Monster Hunter.
Honestly surprised they never got ported to the ps4 or even PC. Since Sony won't give the vita another shot, wht not make a Vita collection? Could have Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, KZ Mercs, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Murasaki Baby, etc. As a way to conmemorate the Vita.
This why you never should have achievements/trophies locked to online only features.
Hmmmm, I hope this will have an actual story, and not just be about missions/multiplayer.
Everything You Desire in a multiplayer game is here. Day 1.
