'Silent Hill: Origins' and 'Shattered Memories' Coming to PlayStation Vita Soon, No Release Date Yet

PlayStation Vita owners are getting some pretty great scary game announcements today. 

First we get the announcement that Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season Two will be launching on April 22, and now we get news of a couple Silent Hill titles making their way to the Vita.

Silent Hill: Origins and SIlent Hill: Shattered Memories will be making their way to Vitas soon, although Sony didn't give a concrete release date, saying that the date will be "coming shortly."

For those unfamiliar with the two titles, here's the descriptions from the press release:

"Silent Hill: Origins acts as a prequel to the series and follows Travis Grady, a truck driver, as he enters the mist-shrouded town to dig up information on a girl he rescued from a fire. Silent Hill: Origins uses the series' famed third-person perspective to trail Travis as he explores the seemingly abandoned town, collecting items to help him in his search. As he ventures further into the town, however, memories of his childhood haunt him - and then the monsters come out..."

"Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is widely regarded as the most innovative addition to the series, and adapts its gameplay to the decisions the player makes. Effectively a remaining of the first Silent Hill, Shattered Memories retains the premise of the first game - Harry Mason's search for his missing daughter - but has a plot that changes dependent on the use. The game is framed by a visit to a psychotherapist, wherein the user is asked questions - while the characters Harry meets in the game will also react differently depending on how they are approached, the questions they are asked, or how Harry interacts with them physically."

Origins was met with mostly mixed reviews, but Shattered Memories was for the most part a critical success.

The games are listed as £7.99/9,95 Euro, which means North American players can probably expect to pay about $9.99 each for the titles.
