Sony, Coke Zero released minigame app in Europe

Laura Croft! Nathan Drake!  Maybe!

A special mobile app featuring some of Sony's mascots has been released in Europe for iOS and Android devices.

PlayStation All-Stars Island is a collection of minigames that features Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, Gravity Rush, and more. Andrew Goldfarb of IGN gives more information on the app that has a heavy sponsorship with Coke Zero.
According to the app’s description, PlayStation All-Stars Island "is divided into 4 zones, with each zone representing one franchise." Additional mini-games on the way include LittleBigPlanet: Epic Race, Infamous: Survival and Gravity Rush: Infinite Skies. The app hints at Ratchet & Clank, Sackgirl, and Jak & Daxter also making appearances, asking “who knows which legends might pop up unexpectedly in your game to lend a hand or super power?”
Each minigame is endless, similar to Temple Run or 1000000, where a player keeps going to collect points to buy items and upgrades and to reach objectives. It's unknown exactly how the endless runner games will work.

For those of us in the United States, we probably won't find out. A Sony representative told IGN that it was simply an app for marketing Coke Zero in Europe.
“The PlayStation All-Stars Island free iOS/Android app is part of a European marketing promotional program with Coke Zero and is currently only offered in select European territories. At this time, we have no plans to release this in the US.”
