Sony and Nihilistic Software have presented the pre-order bonuses that are now available for Resistance: Burning Skies on the PlayStation Vita.

The Resistance series is going to get a brand new installment next month, with Nihilistic launching Burning Skies for Sony’s new handheld platform, the PS Vita.

We already know quite a few details about the game’s story, which focuses on New Jersey fireman Tom Riley, and about its multiplayer mode, which includes all sorts of different game types, like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, or Survival.

Now, the first details about the pre-order bonuses for Resistance: Burning Skies have been revealed. Those who get the game before its release next month will be able to gain an advantage in multiplayer, as well as several avatars and a special lock screen theme for their Vita.

“When you pre-order Resistance: Burning Skies at participating retailers, you’ll receive a special bonus that gives you a jump start straight to level five in multiplayer. This should be enough experience for you to unlock your first grenade upgrade (the Hedgehog, which can be used as an area of effect weapon of destruction or placed like a landmine for unsuspecting victims to stumble upon) as well as your first weapon upgrade,” developer Nihilistic revealed about the pre-order bonus.

“In addition to the MP booster, we’re also giving you three character avatars based on Burning Skies’ lead characters Riley, Ellie and a Chimera, along with a custom PS Vita lock screen theme. Hopefully, this will be all the head start you need to own your friends,” the studio added.

Resistance fans might also look forward, next month, to the release of a special package containing the three PlayStation 3 games in the series, called Resistance: The Trilogy, but nothing is official just yet.

Look forward to the arrival of Burning Skies onto the PS Vita on May 29, in North America, and May 30, in Europe.
