[Update] Zero Escape Bundle To Hit PS4, Vita, And Steam Next Year
Update: It appears that the bundle is coming to Steam as well.
Original Story (October 31 at 1:59 PM Central):
Escape room puzzlers Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999) and Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward will be offered in a two-pack for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita next spring, according to the PlayStation blog.
The package is called Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, as both titles involve nine characters who have to escape from a Saw-style series of deathtraps set by a villain named Zero, by solving puzzles and making choices between rooms.
Initially released on the Nintendo DS, 999 has been upgraded with HD graphics as well as English and Japanese voice acting.

Our Take
This package includes the first two games in the trilogy that concluded with this year's Zero Time Dilemma. The graphics and VO updates to 999 are certainly welcome additions. If Zero Time Dilemma caught your interest this summer, you can get up to speed on the series with editor Javy Gwaltney's handy explainer here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
