Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced the launch of Sodium One, a new and evolving multiplayer online game space now available within PlayStation Home.

“As we pass the one year anniversary of PlayStation Home, it is clear that the platform has evolved beyond recognition,” said Darren Cairns, Head of Online Marketing, SCEE. “Today we take this evolution to the next level with the launch of PlayStation Home’s Sodium One, the first self contained, multiplayer space. Sodium One, not only leverages the power of PS3 to deliver a truly unique, and visually stunning gaming experience, but is also a perfect example of how social interaction and gaming can combine in a way that cannot be replicated on any other platform.”

PlayStation Home users can access Sodium One from the World Map and be transported to a futuristic, action-packed social gaming environment. In Sodium One, a new technological era has dawned bringing with it interstellar travel, rapid colonisation of the galaxy, inexhaustible energy, advanced Artificial Intelligence 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 sometime survival.

Players begin in a social hub located in the Nevada desert and must check in with A.I. life-force “VICKIE” to obtain their objectives, and then battle through multiple levels for a spot on the leader board, while earning credits and rewards to be redeemed within the game.

Sodium One 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 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 the virtual items, ranging from €0.99 to €4.99.
