Calling all sports fans!!! I am thrilled to announce that today ZEN Studios confirmed that it will be holding a closed beta for its PlayStation Network exclusive title, Planet Minigolf. This means that for the first time players will be able to provide valuable feedback on a PSN downloadable title prior to it going live on the PlayStation Store.

So how does it work? Here at ZEN Studios we are giving out 1,000 UK-only beta keys to those who want to check out an early version of the game. We are currently accepting applications to participate in the beta and encourage players of all ages and golf experience levels to apply by visiting the official ZEN Studios website. We’ll let you know the dates as soon as they’re nailed down, so you can grab your clubs and prepare to be transported to several exhilarating courses around the world loaded with remarkable cartoon-style visuals in a fun-filled world of putters, balls and crazy obstacles.

For more details or if you would like to apply for the closed beta, please visit www.ZENStudios.com.

Grab your clubs and get ready to tee off! I am thrilled to announce that ZEN Studios is applying the same battle-tested ball physics engine from the acclaimed ZEN Pinball to bring you the PlayStation Network exclusive Planet Minigolf. What does that mean for you? Expect an exciting new standard in golf action combining stunning 3D graphics and smart play with true-to-life physics, including precisely calculated ball dynamics.

Aspiring to be the best all-around golf experience, we’ve built in a deep single-player campaign that transports players to several exhilarating courses around the world and comes loaded with six customizable characters, remarkable cartoon-style visuals and a daunting 144 unique holes packed with a variety of hazards and interactive objects.

In addition to the single player campaign, we have also included a full suite of multiplayer options – from a local hotseat mode to regular weekly tournaments and worldwide competitions where players can battle it out to see whose nation reigns supreme.

That’s all for now, but we’ll have more exciting news hitting over the next couple of weeks – including a more in depth look at the games online and customizable features.
