The third and final chapter of the unofficial story of the PlayStation Vita.

This book will be the final entry in a series of three books that cover the entire history of the Vita’s life. The first book covered the highs and lows of the Vita’s launch and first year on the market. The second, covered the 2nd and 3rd years in the life of the Vita. This book will focus on the period after 2015, as Sony wound up its support for the device but against all odds the system continued to have games released for it.

There is so much more to the story of the Vita than I could tell in the first book. At one point I had considered writing a book for each year of the system’s life, but after consideration I landed on making it a series of three books:

• PS Vita: Year One - the launch and first year on the market.

• PS Vita: Years Two & Three - covering 2013 and 2014, when Sony was still investing in the Vita with a system redesign and new games.

• PS Vita: The End - 2015 onwards. The Vita slowly lost more and more services and support from Sony entirely dried up but the Vita community continued to support the device and the games kept coming. This period was also notable for the launch of limited print physical game publishers.

The physical book will be A5 size and I am aiming for around 150 pages long. The game retrospectives will include:

• The Ys series

• The Steamworld series

• Salt & Sanctuary

• Shovel Knight

• Dragon Quest Builders

• The Atelier series

• Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2

• Darkest Dungeon

• World of Final Fantasy

• Iconoclasts

• Timespinner

• The Persona Dancing series

• Rainbow Skies

• And more!

The book will also feature library pages of all Vita games released since 2015.
