Spy Hunter is back! This time, the "Agent" is coming to PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS.

Warner Bros. Interactive has announced Spy Hunter, a reboot of the classic arcade series, specially developed for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS by TT Fusion. The game will be available this fall.

In Spy Hunter the player once again takes on the role of the "Agent," the driver of the high-tech G-6155 Interceptor supercar, on a mission to stop a global terrorist organization set on world domination. 

"Spy Hunter's classic gameplay has been upgraded [for] PlayStation Vita and 3DS..." said Samantha Ryan of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Gamers now have more choice in the transformation and customization with greater hand controls [...] and enhanced action cameras."

The Interceptor seamlessly transforms from supercar to off-road assault vehicle to speed boat, allowing players to go where they like within the game's branching mission tracks. Players can choose to outfit and upgrade the Interceptor's weapons and gadgets as they like throughout the course of the game. And for the first time, the Agent will have additional support in the form of an unmanned aerial support drone. Spy Hunter also features crash choreography and a camera system that follows the action in slow motion.
