PS Vita Releases for the Week: 'Killzone: Mercenary Botzone,' 'LittleBigPlanet' DC Comics Premium Pack and 'Conception II'
The PS Vita is getting some sweet releases this week, starting with the addition of new maps for the" Killzone: Mercenary."
After the two classic multiplayer maps for "Killzone: Mercenary," the latest additions are for the offline experience on eight multiplayer maps via the Botzone Soldier Training Pack.
PlayStation Blog reports that all of the multiplayer packs can be played offline with the new pack, either in Mercenary or Guerilla Warfare modes. But players' enemies will be AI soldiers.
There will also be new skills introduced, including vanguard use, interrogations, rescues and valour card collection that will especially challenge players with the AI bot experience. The Botzone Soldier Training Pack will be out for €2.49, so gamers can also unlock the in-game Botzone menu.
'LittleBigPlanet' DC Comics Premium Pack
It's time to face off with the super villains from the DC Comics universe—and what better way to do so as Sackboy or Sackgirl. A new adventure awaits in the "LittleBigPlanet" PS Vita Comics Premium Level Pack, which brings with it new levels and action to the PS Vita platform.
According to the PlayStation Blog Europe, players' main enemy is Lex Luthor. They need to team up with the Justice League to stop his plans. Players will also get the Hero Cape, which lets players glide great distances; Wall Jumping (which is as self-explanatory as it gets); more creative goods including new Materials, Objects, Decorations, a new Background and Music; and a bonus costume.

There is a costume for Captain Cold, which is also available for "LittleBigPlanet 2" or "LittleBigPlanet Karting," for player who have those titles.
Lastly, there are new seven new trophies and 40 pins for the premium pack. If the DC Comics Premium Level Pack for the PS Vita is the pack that gets gamers to buy the season pass, they can still get it at £19.99/€24.99 for the complete collection of DC Comics Content. This includes the "LittleBigPlanet 2" DC Comics Premium Level Pack plus Cyborg and Cheetah costumes, the "LittleBigPlanet" PS Vita DC Comics Premium Level Pack with its exclusive costume and all four DC Comics Costume Packs, where players get five superhero and super villain costumes.
'Conception II'
For those who want to play "God," "Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars" is already out for the PS Vita. It's a social-sim hybrid and dungeon crawler, where gamers play a teenager who receives power from the Star God.
And players' role is basically to pair up with any of the seven heroines, defeat monsters and save the world of Aterra. As announced in the PlayStation Blog, players can do this by creating their own army of Star Children with a ritual.
The game features 30 classes of Star Children, different stats and moods of the heroine (it is a simulation game where players need to win her heart) and other items. For players who are feeling more competitive, publisher Atlus advises that players turn on their ad-hoc network so they can even "classmate" themselves with another player's heroine.
A demo is already available for those who are thinking twice about it, as progress can be transferred to the full version. There's also a DLC featuring Monokuma, which is out in May.
