Gaming News There may be a lot more PS5 remasters in the works than we think, but we didn’t expect to see this iconic game’s name on the list
While a film is already in preparation, this cult saga from Sony could soon be entitled to a remaster.
In Gravity Rush, the action-adventure series developed by Sony and its Japan Studio team (which has since closed its doors), we can play a heroine who can control gravity. And if you’ve heard the name of this cult saga recently, it’s because Sony showed short images of the animated feature film adapted from the license during CES 2024. All we see is a young woman plummeting through the air at full speed, so it’s difficult to get an overview, but the brief excerpt is enough to illustrate viewers’ skepticism and underwrite some very negative opinions. A new rumor is likely to continue to excite the masses: it says that it is a certain remaster of Gravity Rush 2 is reportedly currently in development for PC and PlayStation 5 and will initially launch on the latter machine this summer. Such a project could logically coincide with the promotion of the new film and breathe new life into the saga.
According to the few scraps of information collected on the Gaming Leaks subreddit (which has already published information about Gravity Rush, the production of the film and its screening at CES) and the Team ALUA Discord server, the famous remaster would be in one State of advanced development, playtesting already underway. An official reveal is reportedly scheduled for May, and it’s also rumored that none of the original game’s online features will be availablethat the remaster would still offer a solid photo mode.
Recently, Hiroki Totoki, the President, Chief Operating Officer and Financial Director of the Sony Group, told us that this 2024 we definitely should not expect to see well-known brands from the PlayStation studios again. We then asked ourselves the next question: “Is a remake or remaster of an important title, but one released years ago, considered new software and therefore “big”?“A legitimate question at a time when rumors of a remake of the very first Uncharted are beginning to increase.
Gravity Rush 2, a game that we rated 17/20
Gravity Rush was released in 2017 and asked us to play as Kat, a young girl with amnesia who has the power to control gravity. With her friend Raven, she will face many opponents and try to solve the secret of her origins. A part that is considered better than its predecessor, with refined gameplay, much more generous content and an absolutely enchanting visual style. “There is a real dimension between Gravity Rush 2 and its predecessor. While the first work was characterized by its universe and turned out to be a very good game for the PS Vita, the sequel made the jump to the PS4 perfectly by developing many additional games.” Making gameplay ideas into a much richer game, than you might have thought“, we wrote at the end of our test, which was rated 17/20. The makers of Japan Studio have since undergone a massive restructuring after 20 years of good and loyal service from Sony.
