Sony has just posted the third video in its series dedicated to Unit 13, the third person tactical shooter for the PlayStation Vita, this time showing off its online capabilities, both in terms of multiplayer and leaderboards.

The PS Vita arrived last month and already has a consistent portfolio of great games from which new owners can choose.

Among them there is Unit 13, which just appeared last week and offers a tactical shooter experience coming from Zipper Interactive, the studio behind other popular shooters like SOCOM or MAG.

We’ve already seen the game in action last week when Sony and Zipper posted a few videos to help out new players and teach them a few things about the different missions they’ll complete throughout its campaign.

Now, the third and final one in the series has appeared, focusing on Unit 13’s online features, from the local cooperative multiplayer to the sharing of times on leaderboards, and more.

“Able to utilize PlayStation Vita’s 3G capabilities, Unit 13 features always-on leaderboards, Daily Challenges, High Value Target sharing via Near, and much more,” Zipper Community Manager Chris Roper said.

“We’re also going to give you a look at Unit 13’s new two-player cooperative multiplayer over WiFi. Two players can take on any of the game’s 36 main missions, mixing and matching operatives and arsenals any way you see fit. You’ll get scoring bonuses for working together as a team, and specialized co-op leaderboards will let you see how well your teamwork abilities stack up against the competition. This video will ensure that you’re fully versed on all of Unit 13′s online options and able to take full advantage of them.”

Previous videos covered the basic gameplay mechanics as well as the different game types that can be experiences by PlayStation Vita owners with the third person shooter.

Unit 13 is now available for the Vita internationally as both a retail and a downloadable title.
