Sony’s handheld powerhouse, the Playstation Vita, got an AAA boost of support from Ubisoft and Activision who confirmed that PS Vita versions of their forthcoming games would be available this year for the machine.

Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation appears to use the Assassin’s Creed 3 framework, but shifts the setting and character to New Orleans and puts a heroine in place of the usual stoic hero that the games have had up until now.

The game looks very comparable to it’s home console counterparts and will surely be another feather in the Vita’s cap come this fourth quarter.

Look at the trailer below and tell me that it doesn’t impress (if you say it doesn’t you’re clearly a liar and I don’t know you):

In addition to Assassin’s Creed making it’s bow on the Vita, Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, a ‘true Call of Duty experience in the palm of your hand’ will be available by the time the year is out, but no more detail was provided sadly.

Assassins Creed 3: Liberation and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified should both arrive exclusively for the Playstation Vita before the year is out.
