PS Vita New Releases May 2016 In North America & Europe

We take a look at the upcoming PS Vita new releases in North America and Europe in May 2016.

Azkend 2: The World Beneath

North America: May 3, 2016 (PSN), Europe: May 3, 2016 (PSN)
Genre: Puzzle Game, Publisher: 10tons

Azkend 2: The World Beneath is a match-three puzzle game and presents you several different and exciting level styles throughout the adventure. You can also earn almost 20 unique powerups and over a dozen achievements. Choose your powerups wisely for each level to hasten your journey.

In addition, Azkend 2: The World Beneath has two challenge game modes called Time and Medals. The Time-challenge is a quick two minute bite-sized game where you’ll try to gain as many points as possible and gain fame on the leaderboards. In the Medals-challenge you can replay all the levels from the story and try to gain a medal from each one.

Corridor Z

North America: May 3, 2016 (PSN), Europe: May 3, 2016 (PSN)
Genre: Runner, Publisher: Mass Creation

The action of Corridor Z takes place in an ordinary high school, where survivors have barricaded themselves in a classroom after the school has been quarantined by the military to prevent an undead outbreak from spreading. Through playing the game across two professionally-voiced parallel story lines, you will uncover the story behind the undead horror.

Stylized gory graphics and detailed animations create an angsty backdrop while the vibrant sound effects enrich the auditory experience. Players need to “control” the pursuit while running toward the camera — wield guns, place obstacles, and destroy zombies as you fend off hordes of ferocious zombies and defeat powerful bosses. Above all else, don’t get bitten!

Neverending Nightmares

North America: May 3, 2016 (PSN), Europe: May 3, 2016 (PSN)
Genre: Horror, Publisher: Infinitap Games

In Neverending Nightmares, you play as Thomas, a weak young man with asthma who wakes up from a terrible nightmare. As you continue to progress through the game, you discover that he is trapped in a series of nightmares — each more hellish than the last. Your goal is to hide and flee from the terrifying apparitions that Thomas is defenseless against in order to finally “wake up” in the real world.

The game features a unique branching narrative where — depending on the paths you take — you end up in different nightmares with completely different and contradictory endings.

Ray Gigant

Ray Gigant will reveal each of their stories through their own arcs which will all seamlessly converge by the end of the game. Players will determine the fate of these characters and their world on the PS Vita in just a few weeks.
