Introducing Sodium One: The Next Evolution of PlayStation Home

Today marks the next evolutionary step of the PlayStation Home
platform, as we release a massive 50 level vehicle combat game wrapped
inside a highly-interactive and expansive social gaming environment
known as Sodium One– a truly revolutionary gaming experience developed
by Outso Ltd. and published by Lockwood Publishing Ltd.
This entertainment event, set in a future of advanced technology where
man and machine meet on a vast salt plain to turn deadly battle into
extreme sport, resides only in the ever-growing world of PlayStation
Home. And come opening day, you will want to be the first person in.
That is, of course, if you want to be the last person standing.
A new benchmark for social gaming in PlayStation Home, Sodium One
will launch with an explosive game known as Salt Shooter – a 50 level
combat challenge where players can collect items to level up gameplay
and strategically customize hovertanks with weapons, armor, and
countermeasures. These level-ups can be obtained in a variety of ways,
including meeting in-game objectives, trading resources collected in
the Sodium world, and purchasing items that unlock upgrades in the
Sodium environment (such as the tank pilot jackets, which grant access
to additional levels of the game, leaderboards, and the pilots’ VIP
lounge). All of this is built upon an MMO framework that includes
additional games like Desert Quench and Scorpion Stomp, associated
rewards and collectibles, and personal questing adventures, all of
which are tracked by the Sodium AI Information Android known as VICKIE.
The above games make for a truly next-level PlayStation Home space that
centers on the concept of offering persistent objectives and long-term
rewards to the PlayStation Home
community, so users may work together to reach score targets and unlock
future content and continuously upgrade their personal gaming
experiences.


A dynamic and immersive gaming environment that will continue to
expand over time by offering new games, community events, and virtual
items, Sodium One is an experience unique to the PlayStation Home
platform. By leveraging the computing power of the PS3,
Outso Ltd. has succeeded in creating a graphically-rich,
community-based game that is leaps ahead of anything offered on other
consoles. To celebrate this momentous event, we will be making a
limited number of unique voucher codes – good for a full unlock of the
entire Salt Shooter combat game – available to 1,050 PlayStation Home
community members that explore the space during the first 7 days (150
users per day). All you have to do is log in to PlayStation Home, enter
the Sodium One space and interact with VICKIE for your chance to unlock
the full game.
We are proud to join you, the PlayStation Home community, as we embark on a journey to the next level of social gaming on the PS3.
So make sure you log into PlayStation Home today to take part in all
that this amazing new gaming world known as Sodium One has to offer.
And, as always, stay tuned to the official PlayStation.Blog
for updates regarding the Sodium One space and all other events and
content scheduled to appear in PlayStation Home throughout what is sure
to be an incredibly exciting new year.
