If you're ever having a conversation about some of the most overlooked games on the PlayStation 4, chances are you won't be waiting too long until Gravity Rush is mentioned. It's a fairly niche title, developed by the now shuttered Japan Studio, but it has a very stylish open world and an even more unique combat system. All of this combined makes the news that Gravity Rush 2 might be getting a remaster pretty surprising.
First reported by Kotaku, the news came from a reliable insider called Orangee on a Discord server run by Team Alua, a modding team dedicated to everything Gravity Rush. If you've not heard the name, Orangee has accurately leaked plans behind Gravity Rush before, having previously stated a Gravity Rush movie was in production well before it was officially announced, as well as its cameo during this year's CES trade show.
Now, Orangee is claiming that a remaster of Gravity Rush 2 is now in development for both PlayStation 5 and PC. We don't know much else about the project, aside from the fact that it will make Bloodborne fans want to tear their hearts out, but it's definitely not too shocking when you take into account PlayStation's strategy regarding PC releases over the past few years.
There's no information yet on whether the original development team behind Gravity Rush 2 are behind the project, as they went off to form their own studio following the closure of Japan Studio.
Of course, there are plenty of big titles still waiting for PC ports, such as Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, and more, though PlayStation gave us proof that no game is off the table when it comes to potential candidates with its announcement of the Until Dawn remaster earlier this year. Gravity Rush 2 would be an outside pick, but not at all surprising given PlayStation's recent trajectory.
The only thing that is slightly surprising about this whole thing is PlayStation's decision to remaster Gravity Rush 2 and leave out the original. There are quite a few story beats that follow on after the original, and it's also notoriously difficult to find physical copies. It would definitely benefit more from a remaster, though PlayStation may be more inclined to go for the sequel since the original game has already been remastered once before.
Either way, it's great news for fans of Kat and the citizens of Hekseville, as well as people that yearn for the old days of PlayStation releasing smaller and more experimental titles like Gravity Rush. Now, everyone needs to buy this remaster, so we can convince PlayStation to make a third.
