Wipeout 2048 for the Vita is getting a little more bleed-over from its console brothers today. Two new expansion packs will be available on the PlayStation Store later today, adding all of the tracks from Wipeout HD and its expansion pack, Wipeout HD Fury. The two can be bought separately or bundled, and they each add new crossplay tracks to race alongside the PS3 players.
Wipeout 2048 launched last week alongside the (second) launch of the PlayStation Vita. To fit in that prized window, though, some features were cut, and the team is now working to bring those into the game through updates, alongside its regular DLC plans.
"It's just one of those things - you've got a list of so many thing you've got to do before a certain time and there's a cut off point," said lead designer Karl Jones.

We just can't seem to outrun zombies. The undead have run amok in movies, television shows, and games. But who would've imagined they would end up infecting the futuristic Wipeout series?
No, Wipeout 2048 won't come with a Carmageddon-inspired zombie mode where you run over zombies. Instead, game director Stuart Tilley describes an axed game mode where people haven't been zombified--the cars have. "These are 1000mph steel and carbon fibre machines of menacing evil, and they want you dead," he described.
"I'm a huge wipeout fan, not enough of one to buy a vita right now."
