Free-to-play RPG Guardian Hearts coming to Vita

MCV Staff 1st August 2012 Event News

Japanese publisher Q Entertainment is bringing a free-to-play RPG to PlayStation Vita this month.

Guardian Hearts Online on Vita will use an microtransaction system to offer players extra items, but the standard content will be free to download and play, according to Famitsu (via Andriasang).

While the game is due for release in Japan this month, it’s not clear when or if the game will be made available in the UK and Europe.

It’s also unclear whether this will be a new title or a port of Q Entertainment’s mobile game of the same name, in which you hire other players as NPCs for your party.

Guardian Hearts Online will actually be Vita’s second free-to-play RPG following Sega’s Samurai & Dragons.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
