PlayStation Home: Defend The Earth Fleet In Novus Prime: Vindication

The PlayStation Home regular maintenance window has traditionally taken place every Thursday, but from now on we will carry out this maintenance and any associated weekly updates on a Wednesday. This is to coincide with the main PSN store update and keep some distance from the additional PSN maintenance window that occurs on most Thursdays. Hopefully this change will mean that you can spend more time in Home playing the games you love!
With that in mind, PlayStation Home will be taken offline on Wednesday 11th January from 8AM BST for scheduled maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update:

Novus Prime, the co-op multiplayer space shooter game from Hellfire Games, gets its newest expansion this week with Novus Prime: Vindication. Warp to the Novus Prime space station from Home Square in PlayStation Home to check out all-new missions, enemies, weapons, outfits, and items, plus brand new player ranks with rewards at every other level!

Earth Fleet is once again under attack from the relentless Bot horde! Only with the help of the Obsidians, a mysterious alien race with incredible technology, can you defeat the Bots and emerge victorious. Join the fight as an Obsidian pilot and take on the terrifying new Executioner enemy in two new missions: “Claustrophobia” and “Wrecker’s Waltz.” This expansion also adds new Master versions of every mission in Novus Prime, sure to challenge even the most seasoned aces.

In a gesture of solidarity, the Obsidians have made their technology available to all pilots of the Novus Prime space station. Gain the advantage over your enemies with the lightning-fast Obsidian Blade Fighter ship (bundled with the Obsidian Pilot suit), expose the weakness of your foes with the new Tech Goggles bundle, and deck out your pilot’s outfit with the menacing Obsidian Rune Blades.

Best of all, Novus Prime: Vindication introduces even more player ranks with never-before-seen rewards unlocked at every two levels! Players can now reach the Commander rank at level 30, with a full five-piece uniform awarded to pilots skilled enough to earn the title. Rank up even faster with the brand new Memory Conditioning Conduit bundle, which comes with three virtual items and permanently boosts experience gains by 300%!

Finally, celebrate Novus Prime’s 1-year anniversary this month with a free Facebook-exclusive Personal Lightning Shield item from Hellfire Games. Surround your avatar with a crackling energy field and wow your friends in PlayStation Home!
