Sony have revealed via their official blog that High Velocity Bowling will recieve a huge update tomorrow.

"We are pleased to announce that we putting the finishing touches on a new update for HVB, which will hit the PlayStation Network Tomorrow! Excited? Well, the best part of this is that the new update – all new features included – is Free! For our brothers and sisters in the north, that means Free for you, too.

New Features

Online Play and Chat

You will now be able to play with your friends online and be able to chat with them using a PS3 headset or microphone.

Psn Trophies

The only way to earn the new trophies is to play online, if you’re worried you don’t have the skills, don’t stress — if you’re persistent enough, you will still be able to earn most, if not all, of these as well. Here’s the list:

BRONZE:

Score 180 or higher in an online game.
Achieve an online rating of 1600 or more.
Knock down a total of 500 pins in online games.
Get 10 strikes in online games.
Get 15 spares in online games.
Win an online game.
Play 3 online games.

SILVER:

Score 250 or higher in an online game.
Knock down a total of 5000 pins in online games.
Get 25 wins in online games.
Get 75 strikes in online games.

GOLD:

Get 150 strikes in online games.

Playlists with improved Audio

You can access the XMB while in-game for your own custom soundtracks, with support for playlists. We had custom music before, but were not able to incorporate playlists. Now with the new XMB custom music feature, you can bowl while listening to a mix of Beethoven, Frank Zappa, Britney Spears, Weird Al Yankovic, Gregorian Chants and Nirvana! And with the improved audio options, you’ll be able to crank up your tunes, character voices, and ambient sounds, OR turn them off altogether!

More Trick Shots

Sony have included a section on the menu to start posting additional trick shot challenges. You’ll be given two new challenges with your update, and additional trick shots will be created for download in the future. These challenges will not only help you earn patches that you missed out on during your normal gameplay, but get you more stars for the leaderboards!

New Ball Bags

Also added is a new and more realistic Ball Bag system in HVB. You can only bring four balls with you onto the lane in each bag, so you’ll have to choose wisely. You can name and save up to 24 different ball bags so you don’t have to individually choose four balls every time that you want to play. Be sure to mix and match so that there are some good hooking balls and some good straight rollers in your bag. This way, you’ll be prepared for any oil pattern or pin leave!

Alley Selection

You can now choose which lane to play on (as long as you’re not in a tournament). This means that you can play in Spider’s Garage, Tiffany’s Toybox, the Zen Garden, or wherever you want!

New Add on Content

Sony are also going to continue to provide new content for HVB. This content will include more sinister Trick Shots, more wacky characters, cool bowling balls and quirkier costumes.
