PS3, Vita dungeon crawler Warrior's Lair canceled
Warrior's Lair, one of the first games announced for the Vita, is officially canned. Sony Computer Entertainment confirmed to IGN the PS3 and Vita cross-play action-RPG, first unveiled as Ruin back at E3 2011, is no longer in development. The news comes just over a year after rumors arose of the game's demise, amid rumblings of layoffs at co-developer Idol Minds. SCE had taken Idol Minds off the project, and tasked Sony San Diego solely with its completion. Sadly, that's not come to pass. When it first introduced Ruin, Sony focused on the cross-play, now an established feature across other games. With that selling point somewhat diminished, there unfortunately may not have been enough left to convince Sony to take the game forward.

PS3 / Vita RPG 'Ruin' now called 'Warrior's Lair'
Update your files, adventurers. Developer Idol Minds' hack-and-slash RPG, Ruin, which allows you to share save files and play between PS3 and PS Vita, now has a new name ... and it's about as generic as the previous one. It's called Warrior's Lair now. We don't know when we'll get to play Warrior's Lair again, and it's not part of the PlayStation Vita launch lineup, but as soon as we hear something we'll leave a message at the tavern. That is how warriors get their information nowadays, right?
