Play as Gravity Rush’s Kat in Hot Shots Golf on PS Vita

And more DLC in World Invitational

It’s no secret that Kat from Gravity Rush would find her way to Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational as a playable character. The time has finally come for non-Japanese versions of the PlayStation Vita game — she’ll be available for $0.99, along with two other similarly-priced characters, Erika and Gloria, starting next Tuesday.

Other DLC planned for that day includes new courses — revamped versions of Mt. Sakura and Northern Fox, and the golf resort Mar Cielo — priced at $2.99 each. The full set of characters and courses is also offered in a bundle for $11.99; PlayStation Plus member can get it for $8.99.

World Invitation recently got a patch that added a Turn Based Challenge mode for asynchronous play. Up to 20 separate games can be played at any one point in time. Sounds like a very good reason to pick the PS Vita title back up. This is my go-to series for relaxing (until I every so slightly botch a putt).
