The Invizimals are unique and incredibly powerful beings made of energy who have lived in our world – but in their own dimension – since long before history began. The Invizimals franchise, created in collaboration with Novarama for PlayStation®Portable, now includes three fantastic games Invizimals™, Invizimals™: Shadow Zone, and Invizimals™: The Lost Tribes. Gamers are able to join the hunt on PS Vita® with Invizimals™: The Alliance and Invizimals™: The Lost Kingdom on PlayStation®3.
In the exciting new animated series Keni is a young, super-gifted scientific researcher that discovers the Invizimals during a routine experiment. Together with his friend Jazmin, they are able to collaborate with the Invizimals and start developing some completely new and pioneering technology by using the Invizimals’ infinite and non-polluting source of energy. Just when everything is running smoothly, Keni’s laboratory is hacked by the X-Tractors, whose sole objective seems to be taking over their source of energy!
Keni needs help against this unknown enemy and enlists Hiro, a video game fanatic from Kyoto, Lima, a girl prodigy from Sao Paolo who’s already studying at the university at the age of 13 and Sam, a gadget geek from London. This group of unlikely heroes from different corners of the earth form the elite Z-1 Unit of the Alliance whose mission is to explore the mysterious world of the Invizimals!
Just like the games, the new animated series incorporates augmented-reality techniques, where viewers will be able to unlock additional content from the series exclusively via their PS Vita and other mobile devices.
