The development team at Spiral House and publisher Sony have announced that they are planning to launch a new PlayStation Pets video game on the PlayStation Vita handheld on June 3, giving gamers access to a pet sim title with a twist.

Gamers will be able to choose form four different puppies to care for, each of them with his own personality, sense of humor and character traits that will influence how they evolve over their life time.

The team states on the official PlayStation Blog that gamers will start out teaching them a skill set before venturing out of the home and into the wider Castlewood Island, a place dotted with adventure and challenges.

The team explains that, “Together you’ll be able to explore a massive forest, venture into multiple locations like spooky old mines and graveyards to ultimately make your way to the legendary castle in the center of the island, where the king’s greatest treasures are hidden…”

The skills of the pet that the player has trained are crucial for progress as he crawls around, pulls objects, digs for treasure and jumps over obstacles.

The two companies say that they will offer more details on the PlayStation Pets Vita experience in the coming weeks, including its social aspects.
