Starting on December 17, PlayStation Home users can step into the Sodium "Teleporter" located in the PlayStation Home Central Plaza and be transported to a futuristic, action-packed social gaming environment. In Sodium, a new technological era has dawned bringing with it interstellar travel, rapid colonization of the galaxy, inexhaustible energy, advanced Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the power to travel between quantum realities. This new age has also brought a host of new challenges where players must battle for harmony with their environment – and sometimes survival.

 

Sodium, developed by Outso and published by Lockwood Publishing, starts players in a social hub located in the Nevada desert. Players must check in with the A.I. life-force "VICKIE" to obtain their objectives, then battle through multiple levels for a spot on the leader board -- either in individual combat or as a multi-player experience -- while earning credits and rewards to be redeemed within the game. Sodium features objective-based meta-games, full arcade-style games and community events. During the first section of the game, "Salt Shooter," players must hunt self-replacing robots with tanks in order to control their population.  Gamers can play through the first five levels of "Salt Shooter" for free, or unlock additional levels and experiences with the purchase of virtual items, ranging from $0.99 (MSRP) to $4.99 (MSRP).

 

By leveraging the power of the PS3, Sodium delivers awe-inspiring visual graphics and rich gaming social experiences only possible on the platform. Due to the flexibility of the PlayStation Home platform, the genre-defying Sodium space will continue to evolve over time. Players can look forward to new games, community events and virtual items to be added, further revealing the story and offering new experiences and challenges.
