Deception 4: Blood Ties launching March 25 on PS3, PS Vita

Deception 4: Blood Ties, the reimagining of the 1996 PlayStation title Tecmo's Deception: Invitation to Darkness, will be released March 25 on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, developer and publisher Tecmo Koei announced today.

PS3 players of the strategic action game will be able to upload their combos to the web and challenge others to beat them, while the PS Vita version features touchscreen controls for traps. Save games work across both versions of the game, and cross-play is also supported.

In Deception 4, which was announced during Sony's Tokyo Game Show 2013 press briefing, players take the role of Laegrinna, who is also known as the "Devil's daughter." She sets traps and then lures her enemies into them, and players must properly set up the traps and then activate them at the right times. Deception 4 is being produced by Fatal Frame creator Keisuke Kikuchi.
