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.

Habroxia 2 blasts the Vita in February 2021

 Add another game to the Vita 2021 release list, as the sequel to the perky shooter Haboxia lines up Sony's portable in its sights. This time, humanity sends scout ships to a star system that was responsible for a massive attack. When one pilot doesn't come back, his daughter is off to the rescue. 

The sequel from Lillymo offers a narrative driven adventure, horizontal and vertical sections, with a revamped twin stick control scheme, epic and enhanced retro inspired soundtrack plus challenging boss battles and customizable ship upgrades, all wrapped in a non-linear, old-school space shooter with upgrades, big battles, and a New Game+ mode.

Release hits PS4 and Vita on 2nd February 2021, and the launch trailer really makes my want to hibernate all winter. A physical edition is also on the way, with pre-orders opening on December 3, 2020 (10am ET / 4pm UK / 11pm Hong Kong) at Playasia.
