PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale adds Nathan Drake and BioShock's Big Daddy to roster, joins the Vita

When it was time for Sony to bring PlayStation Battle Royale to the stage at E3 2012, they were quick with the news. First off the devs confirmed that the game will be available on the PS Vita as well and they can be played together across the platforms. But the biggest news came at the end, as two new fighters were revealed: Nathan Drake and BioShock’s Big Daddy!

We ultimately expected to see Drake appear in the game, as he’s one of Sony’s most high profile hero of the last few years. However, we were very happily surprised to see the first of what we hope are many third party guest characters, BioShock’s Big Daddy. Both characters will be playable at E3, so we can’t wait to get our hands on it. The game comes out this holiday.
