Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Waking Violet and Master of Mayhem line up for Vita

UPDATE: Scratch Mooseman off the list  as the developer has issued a clarification. Still haven't heard about MoM.

Original story: Just goes to show, when the news is thin, in the perils of believing pretty much any online source when it comes to Vita games.

Both games seem to be about a year old PC titles and are Russian/Belaryussian developed, which is a positive-sounding source of new Vita games if the rest of the world is slowing down. Beyond their Steam pages, there isn't a huge amount of detail on the console ports, so check back for any updates.

UPDATE to the UPDATE: But in the Moose's place comes Waking Violet, a game with no history, no social media mentions, and a Twitter account that's never tweeted. Some digging and Twitter help (thanks @maryjenbeck) tracks it down to the Mixed Bag published game that was teased recently by Marco Mastropaolo and there's a teaser website up here.
