Zero Escape: The Nonary Games Announced for PS4 & Vita
Aksys Games has announced a brand new Zero Escape: Nonary Games collection featuring the original two classics, 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward. These two games will be released for the PS4 and PS Vita next year.
Here’s an overview of the double pack, via Aksys Games:
“So what exactly is a Nonary Game? In essence, the game contains nine “players” or participants. You assume the role of one of these participants and compete towards a common goal. “No big deal, I love a good, friendly competition!” you say to yourself. Well, not so fast… The rules of each game vary from title to title, but the end goal is always the same: you must fight for survival and do everything in your power to escape with your life! That’s right, the price for losing this game is death. Did we mention that you’ve been “entered” against your will?
The main antagonist in both games is the enigmatic Zero. Who is Zero? What does Zero want? Why are you in this situation to begin with? Fair questions to be sure, but to answer any of these would simply ruin the experience! A special feature of each Nonary Game is the implementation of a watch-like device, which is attached to each participant’s wrist. Unique to each game, the watch serves a few sinister functions, most notably as the very probable agent of your demise! Needless to say, your quest will focus on solving the mystery of your surroundings and successfully removing the lethal time piece.
The Zero Escape franchise is renowned for its engrossing narrative and complex story, and The Nonary Games collection serves as the definitive version of the first two games. For both the uninitiated and seasoned escapists, The Nonary Games is the perfect gateway into this deadly and thought-provoking world.”
Both of these games will be released for the first time on the PS4 while 9 Hours, 9 Persons and 9 Doors will be released for the first time on the Vita.
“While the newest entry in the series (Zero Time Dilemma) will not be included, it’s important to note that it was developed by Chime and not Spike Chunsoft, so maybe we’ll see a port of that at a later date.”
