SYDNEY, 19th August 2013 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) has today announced the brand new next generation pet experience for PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) – PlayStation®Vita Pets! Make friends for life as your pets respond to your voice and face while you teach them tricks, help them solve puzzles and even embark on new and exciting adventures at Castlewood Island.

PlayStation Vita Pets provides an incredible adventure with a pet that is truly yours. Never before seen in a pet game, this adventure will challenge kids to solve the legends of Castlewood Island.

This is the closest thing to owning a real-life pet and no need for the pooper-scooper! They look real, act real and even have real emotions – without all the mess. Each pet has its own unique and fun personality so kids can bond even more with their new virtual best friend.

PlayStation Vita Pets takes virtual pets to an all-new level through the amazing augmented reality technology of PS Vita. As well as playing with your pet and going on adventures in the virtual world, now your pet can follow you anywhere and you can take them on a walk for real with the incredible markerless AR technology! Experience virtual pet training and adventures like never before as your new pal comes with you wherever you go.

Spend time getting to know your puppy by playing games, teaching them new tricks, playing dress-up and even treating them for ticks! Once they’re all trained up, take them on an adventure where you can teach your pet to explore the forest and find objects.
PlayStation Vita Pets will be available in Australia for PlayStation Vita in 2014.
