Hello Games has announced that it will be launching Joe Danger 2: The Movie on the PlayStation Vita handheld gaming device on January 13.

The game has been available on the PlayStation 3 home entertainment system from Sony for quite a while, and now it's making the jump to the Japanese corporation's handheld, with a bunch of exciting stuff added in for value.

The PS Vita edition of Joe Danger 2: The Movie will come with some special guest appearances, in the form of some popular characters from Media Molecule. The characters are Atoi and Iota from Tearaway, and Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet.

In addition to this, Hello Games is also making Steve from Minecraft and the mercs from Team Fortress 2 available on the Vita. The special characters were part of the PC version of the daredevil game, and an additional item carried over is the Minecraft stage for Movie Maker, the game's level editor.

The biggest Joe Danger yet

All this content makes the PS Vita edition of Joe Danger 2: The Movie the biggest release yet, coming with hours upon hours of exciting gameplay and a total of 85 levels and 35 playable characters. The Undead Movie Pack is also included in the Downloadable Tours section.

Further good news is the fact that Joe Danger 2 runs at a smooth 60 frames per second and also allows gamers to record and download ghost runs, so there will always be something to race against.

The game will ship with a Vita-tuned control scheme, making full use of the handheld's special functions, including the ability to create levels using touchscreen controls in Movie Maker.

Joe Danger 2: The Movie will also have PlayStation Trophies to earn and online leaderboards to compete in.

Developer Hello Games is also working on a PlayStation 4 exclusive (at launch at least) procedurally generated universe exploration game, No Man's Sky, which looks gorgeous and promises an experience like no other game released so far.
