Start the Countdown to Zero Time Dilemma's Vita Unveiling

The long anticipated Zero Time Dilemma – the third instalment in Spike Chunsoft's popular Zero Escape series – will be officially unveiled in San Francisco next month, series creator Kotaro Uchikoshi has announced. The event will take place during the Game Developers Conference, though it won't actually be held at the event. Instead, it sounds like publisher Aksys will organise an off-site press session.

The game, which is due to launch on the PlayStation Vita later in the year, will bridge the events between Nintendo DS exclusive 999 and Virtue's Last Reward. The visual novel will take place inside a facility designed to test the logistics of a Mars colony, but aside from some character portraits published by Gematsu, details are scarce. It's quite nice to be posting about an event for a high-profile Vita release, though, eh?

Expect more information to emerge the week commencing 14th March. Hype.
