Frozen Synapse is the kind of tactical game that will keep you up for hours while your brain plans moves. There’s so many tactics and planning and it is a beautiful thing when it all comes together but when it doesn’t it’s an amazing disaster left with you asking yourself “why didn’t I think to cover that route”. Well now you’ll never have to leave Frozen Synapse behind as it’s heading to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. The new title will be called Frozen Synapse: Tactics will be getting a make over from the ground up to ensure that console players will have the best experience possible instead of just some rush port job. Right now there’s no solid release date but it should be out in 2013 so keep your eyes peeled. Until then if you haven’t picked up Frozen Synapse now would be a great time to get some practice rounds because once this hits the 3G play anywhere PS Vita I think it has addiction written all over it.

PRESS RELEASE
Frozen Synapse: Tactics Announced
Double Eleven are bringing Frozen Synapse to PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Vita.
After recently announcing their new digital publishing branch – D11 Games – Double Eleven have now revealed that they will be working with Mode 7 on a console version of Frozen Synapse. The new title, Frozen Synapse: Tactics, will be released for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita via the PSN™ store.
Originally released in 2011, the critically praised Frozen Synapse has sold over 430,000 copies to date. Its unique style of gameplay offers something new to the strategy gaming genre and is a refreshing change from modern traditional RTSs.
“Frozen Synapse for us represents some of the best work coming out of the UK and onto the PC. We know there’s also a great console game in there as well waiting to be realised.” said Mark South, COO for Double Eleven.
Demi Gounari, Art Director on the new project, said “We are thrilled to be working on Frozen Synapse; our vision is to reinvent the game’s aesthetics and interactivity in the same way that Mode7 reinvented strategy gaming with this title.”
Mark added that “we don’t want to give too much away yet, but I will say that Frozen Synapse: Tactics is not simply a transition of the original onto console; we will be giving it a complete Double Eleven makeover.”
Paul Taylor, the co-founder and joint MD of Mode 7, said, “Frozen Synapse proved that turn-based strategy doesn’t have to be about people with misguided beards prodding tanks into lonely hexagons. We have put our trust in Double Eleven to translate our original vision for a PlayStation audience; they have impressed us with their commitment to creating a completely new version for Sony’s awesome hardware. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.”
Shahid Ahmad, Senior Business Development Manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, said “We have a fantastic relationship with Double Eleven and have supported their publishing model of bringing hit indie IPs to our platform. As Double Eleven’s first self-published game, after releasing LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, they have chosen a perfect title for PlayStation.”
Frozen Synapse: Tactics is scheduled for release in 2013. Keep an eye on our website, Twitter and Facebook page for updates.
