But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

88 Heroes rampage on to the Vita

88 Heroes from Bitmap Bureau (the gods behind Xeno Crisis) landed on the PS4 back in 2017. As the Vita nears product death, it is getting an outing on physical thanks to Eastasiasoft, shipping this month with a decent 1,800 production run, going on-sale on the 8th April. 

UPDATE: Still in stock (got mine ordered!) 

88 Heroes is an intense action pixel-art platformer with an over-the-top story. It's 8:08am on 8th August 1988, and the evil Dr. H8 has brought the world to the brink of total annihilation! His demands are simple: pay $88 octillion within 88 minutes, or Dr. H8's 88 thermo-nuclear warheads will wipe out the Earth! 

Prepare to infiltrate Dr. H8’s lair with the help of the strangest, dumbest and most pointless superheroes ever! Lead 88 unique characters – each with their own special abilities, from snake to basketball players, sword-wielding knights and many more – on a platform-hopping, enemy-smashing, danger-dodging mission to save Earth from complete destruction!


The physical Limited Edition will include the game, manual, soundtrack CD and numbered certificate in a collector’s box for US$34.99 + shipping . Preorders will open with online retail partner Playasia at 11:00pm Hong Kong (11am ET / 4pm UK) on Thursday, April 8th.
