PlayStation All-Stars Gets Two New Fighters, New Stage

During an exhibition at the EVO fighting tournament tonight, Sony revealed two new characters for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. In addition to the eight characters already revealed, Japanese Sony mascot Toro Inoue and Tekken’s Heihachi Mishima will be joining the fray.

Toro Inoue was rumored to appear in the game just last week and is one of Sony’s most well-known mascots in Japan. Toro previously appeared as a fighter in Street Fighter x Tekken. Heihachi Mishima, meanwhile, is the villain of the original Tekken and most recently also appeared in Street Fighter x Tekken.

Lastly, Sony also showed off a new stage, Dojo from Parappa the Rapper. This brings the total number of known PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale stages up to five, joining the previously announced Dreamscaoe, Hades, Metropolis and Sandover Village.

As Sony confirmed earlier today, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will hit stores on October 23rd. Keep checking back to IGN for new updates, as an additional pair of characters for the game will be announced during the PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Comic-Con panel next week.

Sony Registers PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Vita URLs

Sony has registered a domain names for an unconfirmed Vita version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Vita. As you'd expect, the URLs, spotted by TSA, are quite long and wordy, including battleroyalethegamevita.com.

This comes a few days after a LinkedIn resume of a Sony sound designer listed both the PS3 and Vita version of the game as his current project. And also comments from game director Omar Kendall earlier this month suggesting that a Vita version is a possibility. When asked if All-Stars will hit Sony’s portable, Kendall commented “Maybe. Stay tuned.”

We have stayed tuned, and at this point PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for Vita seems like an inevitability. And with E3 next week, an announcement seems to be on the cards.
