Check out the full details about all the titles below, via PS blog.

Hitman: Absolution

It has been seven long years since Hitman: Blood Money graced the PS2 but Agent 47 is finally back and more lethal than ever in the explosive fifth installment in the series. Boasting a cinematic story, distinctive art direction and thrilling game design, Hitman: Absolution combines classic gameplay with features never seen before in the franchise.

Catherine

The game tells the fascinating story of Vincent, an average guy who meets the mysterious Catherine and spends the night with her. With strange dream-related deaths taking place all over the city Vincent begins to have nightmares of his own. Not only must he fight for his survival but also must make the tough decision between his girlfriend Katherine and the beautiful yet potentially deadly Catherine.

Malicious

You’ll take on the role of a ‘spirit vessel’ summoned into the world by the Prophets to vanquish evil. Armed with the Mantle of Cinders – a cloak that can absorb power from destroyed objects and shift form – you wage battle with the Malicious.

Sine Mora

The game features two plots running at different points in time. The first features a father bent on taking revenge on the Empire that executed his son for refusing to drop a nuclear bomb on the Enkie race. The second follows the last survivors of the Enkie race as they plot revenge on the Empire for destroying them.

Velocity Ultra HD

Many of you may well remember the phenomenal mini title Velocity, developed by our very talented friends at FutureLab. This new version of the game really takes full advantage of the PS Vita’s capabilities, adding trophies, online scoreboards and HD graphics!

The new games will go live during the month of May and replace titles that will no longer be available in the Instant Game Collection. Check out the concrete schedule below.
