And just like that, Civilization Revolution 2 Plus has been announced for the PlayStation Vita. We've known about this game for an eternity, as its Trophies appeared on Sony's servers a little while back. But now it's been officially revealed, with a 3rd December release date for North America and Europe. Who said that the handheld was dead?
This is a port of the smartphone game, but will ship with new units, leaders, and scenarios based upon Japan's history, which will be exclusive to this version. For those out of the loop, it's a turn-based strategy game in which you're tasked with either building a civilisation from scratch or completing pre-specified objectives against renowned world leaders. It's basically perfectly suited to portable play.
Of course, the announcement of this means that we can now be confident that XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus is also on the way. In the meantime, let us know whether you'll be sitting on the throne while, er, sitting on the throne in the comments section below.

Can't wait for this, loved the first civ rev, long live the vita!!!
I always wanted Civ on my Vita, but I have doubts about a mobile phone game port
@Melucine likewise, its meant to suffer from poor framerate and AI that's either too dumb or cheats. Hope these are sorted out as could really get into this, an the xcom port...
If it's have as good as the console version will be a blast
@EnragedGibbon
TBH I am more afraid that they will give us a version with "energy" points and microtransactions ( I have no idea how this plays on phone, never tried it )
X-comm is also on my wish list!
I really enjoyed the first one I got free with gold on my 360, hoping it's like that and not a crappy mobile game...
The reviews are mixed. If the price is right, though... It does sound like they've gone back into this one and added extra content, so hopefully they've made some alterations based on reviews, too.
As others have mentioned, it's a great fit for the Vita.
It will be to watered down for me. While I enjoyed Civ Rev on console it was nowhere near as good as Civ 4 on PC. I hope they pull it off though.
This is civ rev 2. On the ipad the first civ rev was great, 2 was a micro transaction heavy rip off.
@Melucine Agreed, that would be a killer for me, much prefer to pay once and play whenever...didn't think about that model. Also hoping they don't ruin xcom that way as well then...
I heard this is the 360 game. If that's true this is a must buy.
I tried out the demo for Civ Rev on the PS3 once. It was too zoomed without being adjustable for me to like it. Anyhow though, I don't need this as I have Civ 5 on my computer.

Loved Civ Rev on the 360 - hope this is as good!
