Minecraft Vita dated for Europe

The Vita version of Minecraft has been given an October 15 release date in Europe.

The news was announced on Twitter by Scotland-based Minecraft port developer 4J Studios, which had originally intended to release the handheld version in August

We don't have a confirmed North America Minecraft PS Vita release date yet," the studio added. "Hopefully we'll hear soon."

Saves will be transferable between the Vita and PS3 versions of the game, meaning players can craft at home then continue on the go and vice versa.

Minecraft Vita players will also be able to import their worlds to PS4, but they won't be able to transfer saves from the new console to the other platforms.
