Our previous glimpses at Zipper Interactive’s Handheld social shooter focused on Unit 13‘s firefights and social network elements. But a new demo video from the CES floor focuses on the sneakier side of thing in by highlighting the military action title’s Covert missions.
People love Nathan Drake. And it’s safe to say that Uncharted: Golden Abyss will be the premiere adventure title for the Vita. However, it’s looking like Unit 13 — from Zipper Interactive, the developer behind SOCOM and MAG — will the one you’ll want to sate that thirst for Rainbow Six-style antics.
Here’s a look at the upcoming portable from the makers of the SOCOM games. You’ll see how the same kind of tactical focus has been revisited and rebuilt for a portable and more social experience, as previously noted by our own Stephen Totilo. With the fact that the Vita’s a dual-stick handheld, this could be a shooter that feels like the ones made for consoles do, but one with intriguing network features that make it stand apart, too. Unit 13 will hit during PlayStation Vita’s launch window, which opens on Feb. 22 of next year.
I missed the first item we ran on Unit 13. I forgot the second one existed.
Unit 13 is the new shooter from Zipper Interactive, the studio behind most of the SOCOM games.
