Multiplayer space combat just reached new heights in PlayStation Home. Novus Prime: Escalation is an expansion which brings new missions, weapons, a personal space and more.
Hellfire Games proudly announces Novus Prime: Escalation, the exciting new content expansion for Novus Prime, the hit multiplayer space combat game in PlayStation®Home for the PlayStation®3 system. Novus Prime: Escalation launches in North America and Europe on March 31, 2011.
The expansion delivers never-before-seen missions, enemies, weapons, bot companions, and virtual items, effectively doubling the game’s content. Novus Prime: Escalation also offers a new personal space: the Officer’s Quarters, with zero-gravity simulation and access to a private hangar. Additional updates to the Novus Prime space station and its improved spacewalk feature should thrill new recruits and veteran players alike.
“Without a doubt, this is our biggest and best update yet,” said Jeff Posey, President of Hellfire Games. “We’re constantly listening to our fans, and Novus Prime: Escalation absolutely delivers what the community has been asking for.”
Since launching in December 2010, the Novus Prime space in PlayStation Home has seen nearly one million visitors. Novus Prime players can buy and personalize their own ships, join the fight with friends in cooperative multiplayer missions, earn new outfits and gear for their avatars, collect exclusive robot companions, compete for leaderboard positions, and team up to experience an epic space combat adventure like no other.
Novus Prime is free to play, and requires only a PlayStation 3 system and an online connection. Now with more thrilling content than ever before, there’s never been a better time to join the fight! For more information, visit

(Editor’s note: It’s no secret that we here at HomeStation Magazine have a high opinion of Novus Prime. The game offers a truly multiplayer experience in Home, and it’s certainly done well on Sony’s top-ten lists. It’s also one of the few public spaces in Home to play with the physics of virtual reality, by offering a zero-G environment. Escalation does look quite exciting, and it’s very encouraging to see a developer updating its content in Home so soon after the initial release. We suspect this update will generate quite a bit of revenue for Hellfire Games.)
