Sony has announced PlayStation Vita Pets, a Nintendogs-alike pet simulator due for release on PlayStation Vita in 2014.

Developed by EyePets PSP creator Spiral House, PlayStation Vita Pets sees players picking from four different puppies which they can dress, bath, train and play with, before setting off an adventure across Castlewood Island.

“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 centre of the island,” says Spiral House creative director Kevin Oxland posting on the PlayStation Blog. “We don’t want to spoil anything else right now so we’ll leave further details of the story until one of our next posts on the blog.”

Oxland claims that PlayStation Vita Pets is far from your ordinary pet game, however, promising a “deep gameplay experience”.

“We’ve done our best to really make this feel like a PlayStation game – with ‘game’ being the important word there,” he added. “We set out to make something that was more than just a pet sim – we wanted to make something that felt like a real game, with characters, fun and adventure, so that’s exactly what we did.”

PlayStation Vita Pets will be on display during next week’s Gamescom where players will get to go hands-on with the game.
