While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool.

Chasm falling onto Vita this summer

Bit Kid's Chasm is a gorgeous looking pixel adventure coming to the Vita this summer. An old-school action adventure game, you play a new recruit on your first mission which leads down a closed mine close to where townsfolk have been vanishing from.

Fighting supernatural creatures, you must restore peace to the Kingdom, exploring the depths and using all the equipment that comes to hand. More info a US PSN blog post, but the game features:

  • Six massive areas to explore, procedurally-assembled from hand-crafted rooms
  • Challenging retro gameplay and authentic pixel art (384x216 native res.)
  • Massive bosses and new abilities to discover with lots of otherwise inaccessible areas
  • Customize your character by equipping armor, weapons, and spells
UPDATE: The game is complete, and with Sony for approval and the usual Q/A, testing and so on. Release date to be announced soon. - 31st July in fact, just the five years after the original Kickstarter!

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
