Frozen Synapse Prime gets new trailer, and official release date of September 23rd
Priming up for launch
Frozen Synapse Prime, known as Frozen Synapse: Tactics up until early August, is headed to Vita on September 23rd.
The turn-based strategy game is a remake of the original, PC cult hit by Mode7, and is being ported to the Vita by Double Eleven.
So what's changed? Well, the graphics for one. Replacing the PC version's stylized (and very blue) minimalism are some sleek new visuals.
According to Double Eleven's design manager, Gareth Wright, the team would have liked to include the "classic theme" as a map, but were unable due to time constraints.
"If the game does well, and the fans scream out for it, it's something we could consider later," adds Wright, on the PlayStation blog.
The Frozen Synapse Prime developers have also worked hard to make the port intuitive for a handheld device, while still keeping pace with the original game's deep tactical elements.
Check out the game's launch trailer below, and make sure to look out for it on the PlayStation store September 23rd across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Frozen Synapse Prime's soundtrack will also be on sale, individually and as part of a bundle.
