With First Edition bundles for the PlayStation Vita already winging their way to gamers across North America, attention is shifting toward the upcoming releases that will follow what is largely considered to be a solid lineup of launch titles. One of the most highly anticipated future Vita games is Resistance: Burning Skies, Nihilistic Software's portable take on the series from Insomniac Games.

Sony confirms in a new PlayStation Blog post that the first portable Resistance FPS now has an official release date of May 29. The story is set during the Chimeran invasion of the East Coast in 1951, with players in control of New Jersey firefighter Tom Riley. I played a little bit of this game at a Sony preview event late last year, and it definitely seems like the real deal.

It won't make the wait any short, but you can now take a peek at the newly revealed box art up top.
