Silent Hill: Book of Memories Delayed

PS Vita owners will have to wait a couple more months to get their hands on Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Publisher Konami confirmed this weekend that the game won't make its schedule March 27th release date.

"Unfortunately Book of Memories has been delayed. Stay tuned for a more formal announcement," a Konami spokesperson told Ripten.

Book of Memories focuses on multiplayer action rather than survival horror. Four players, armed with both weapons and magical powers, team up to fend off enemies. Each player can create their own custom character, as well. WayForward Technologies, the folks responsible for last year's BloodRayne: Betrayal, are handling the development.

Konami initially planned to release Book in February, around the time that the PS Vita launched in the West. It was delayed to March so that it would line up more closely with Silent Hill: Downpour's release. Presumably they thought that the publicity from each game would help the other.

Amazon and GameFly now list the Book's release date as May 31st yet. It's not clear whether that's the actual release date or a placeholder, though. We'll have to see what Konami says in their official announcement on the matter.
