In Freedom Wars, you play as a prisoner serving a 1 million year sentence. It can be reduced by fighting hulking monsters and rescuing civilians.
The title is designed for four players, but if you happen to find yourself short, you’ll be able to sub in AI fighters to assist you. Freedom Wars will be out on October 28 for Vita.

Our Take
I haven’t had a chance to demo this yet, but the action looks like a more fast-paced Monster Hunter or Soul Sacrifice. Good Vita exclusives are few and far between, which makes me interested in checking this one out sometime soon.
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.
