Giving out some hopeful news to people in Europe, Fred Dutton, SCEE Blog Manager, let it be known that The Walking Dead on PlayStation Vita will finally come to Europe this Wednesday, a couple of weeks after North America saw it back on August 20th.

On top of that, it looks like Ratchet: Gladiator HD might actually release this month, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much just yet since it’s been so long, with Dutton saying “I still can’t give you a firm date, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. It should be with you this month.”

Moving onto PlayStation Plus, Fred assured someone that PlayStation Vita online play won’t require PS+ like the PS4 does, while also confirming that “you’ll need PS Plus to play PS4 games online remotely through your PS Vita.” [Update: the title previously misleadingly suggested that all remote play would be behind a paywall, that has now been changed].

Do you plan on buying a PlayStation 4 without PlayStation Plus? If you already have PlayStation Plus, how long until your subscription runs out? Let us know in the comments below.
