PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD, the enhanced Vita version of Q-Game's beloved 2008 tower defense title, is due in Europe on 31st July for £9.99 / €12.99, developer Double Eleven has announced.

North American folks receive it one day earlier for $14.99.

The definitive version of PixelJunk Monsters will add touch controls, new trophies, and add-ons like the encore level pack. It will also contain both ad-hoc and online co-op.
