Sony Computer Entertainment, Media Molecule and Tarsier Studios have announced that the upcoming enhanced PlayStation 4 port of Tearaway (Titled, ‘Tearaway Unfolded’) will receive be receiving a complementary Companion App. Those looking to access this app will be able to download it on the game’s day of launch – Wednesday 9th September 2015.

This Companion App can also be used via the PlayStation 4 link “second-screen” function on PlayStation Vita devices.
Some promoted features/capabilities of this app include:
- The trusty cutting mat – one of the main ways to let your creative juices flow and draw whatever your heart desires. Draw a heart or flower, hit the stamp icon and your creation will be floating through the skies of the game.
- Using the camera of your chosen device, take photos of the real world and import them onto the cutting mat. The imported photos can then be used to texturise the game.
- The Messenger customisation screen lets you personalise your messenger to create new decorations and costumes… or even a beard!
- Tearaway Unfolded is context sensitive, meaning you can change what the messenger looks like during real time whilst your friends are playing.
Currently in development for the PlayStation 4 and based on the original PlayStation Vita title, Tearaway Unfolded is set for release on September 9 2015.
