Forums - Gaming - Yoshida: “Many, Many” First-Party PS Vita Games in Development

Following his comments at E3 about how the PlayStation Vita would have fewer first-party titles, Sony Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida was interviewed by Game Reactor at the Gamelab Conference last week in Spain, where he clarified any misconceptions that his statement meant they wouldn’t support the PS Vita at all:

The question I was asked was, ‘going forward, [will] the number of first party will be smaller?’, and I said ‘yes, number of projects will be smaller.’ I never said ‘we won’t make any games on PS Vita’.

We’re continuing to make games on PS Vita… we just launched a game called Freedom Wars in Japan, it’s a big title dedicated to PS Vita, and it’s received very well in Japan – we’ll bring that to Europe and US as well. And we’re making that JRPG, a very, very beautiful JRPG called Oreshika as well. And games made in Europe – Murasaki Baby is a dedicated PS Vita title that got many awards at E3.

And we’re continuing to make cross-platform games like Helldivers or CounterSpy. Many, many games we have in development for PS Vita from first-party as well.”

Over on Twitter, Shuhei listed a few more first-party games coming to PS Vita by saying, “Freedom Wars, Entwined, Murasaki Baby, Oreshika, Helldivers, Hohokum, Counter Spy, Fat Princess, and BigFest are all first-party titles.”

If you’re wondering what that Fat Princess PS Vita game is, it’s a free-to-play title launching later this summer called Fat Princess: Piece of Cake. Already available on the Canadian App Store, Piece of Cake “takes the comic medieval battle royale to the next level with a brand-new strategic match-3 free to play puzzle game.” As a bonus, when you reach level 15, you’ll unlock a code to download the original Fat Princess on PS3 for free.

Somehow I'm not so sure...

It's good to hear though.



Hmmm, interesting! This is the type of news I like to hear from Sony although... I am curious as to what he means by "smaller" games... I am also wondering how many are exclusives to Vita.. But oh well, good news (potencially) none the less but I want to see it to believe it

I don't get that. He said before that there would be fewer Vita first party games and now he's saying the opposite.

I hope so. I feel a bit better that Shu is saying this instead of the other guy from SCEE.

So at E3 Vita is a PS4 companion device, now it will get First-party games? "Many, many"? No matter how you put it, the system is a mess in PR.



Well, why not show them to us?!

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Happy to hear it :)
PS Vita games that I look forward to most, are:
Freedom wars, Oreshika tainted bloodlines, Digimon cyber sleuth, Murasaki baby, Sword art online hollow fragment, God eater 2, Gravity rush 2, HTOL #NIQ: HOTARU NO NIKKI and Tales of hearts R.



Remember, guys, never have high hopes for Vita-related news!
