Zipper Interactive's portable third-person shooter arriving for Sony's new portable within weeks of system launch.
When Zipper Interactive announced in November that it was bringing third-person shooter Unit 13 to the PlayStation Vita, it did so noting the game would be released on February 22 as a launch title for the PS Vita. However, Sony later bumped the game to "launch window" status. Now, the publisher has finalized the game's release date, announcing Unit 13 will make its bow on March 6.
A third-person shooter developed by SOCOM shop Zipper Interactive, Unit 13 will let players take on 36 missions as one of six different characters, each with specific talents. As players finish those main missions, they unlock "high-value target" battles, which can be shared with friends after completion.
Zipper is placing an emphasis on social and competitive play for Unit 13, designing a 3G-enabled live notification system that will tell players about challenges to their leaderboard positions, shared high-value target missions, and more. The game will also feature cooperative play with voice chat support and separate leaderboards for global and regional rankings.

@ buying1999 Very good mate, many people dislike you now! I hope the system you play is good and all, but your comment is irrelevant to the actual game being displayed here! And how is that portable Xbox coming along? No news? Oh well, have fun with your prone to hardware failure Xbox 360 then!
Sony better hope that the handheld market really takes off for them since the overpriced internet ready blu ray player is tanking against the SUPERIOR Xbox 360. Not to mention Kinect selling like hotcakes. But then Sony does have that pink ball wavy around Wii copy thingy..ps3hdwii.

awesome ragdolls and graphics......good online play this game has a very low chance to fail :)
I was hoping to get this game at launch but I can wait a couple of weeks since I'll be busy playing other games only thign bad about the vita launch lineup is that there are allot great games to play and its hard to choose which ones to get and play first
I can not wait for the Vita. The game line up is great and looks like a lot more devs are online for it.
This game looks good and will be one of the first tests against how well the PSvita new features perform. The gameplay looks smooth as good as on the PS3.
Infiltrating enemy territory and tactically eliminating evildoers is tense and enjoyable in Unit 13.
