Game news There may be a lot more PS5 remasters in the works than we think, but we didn’t expect to see this cult game name on the list.
While a film is already in the works, Sony’s cult saga will also soon be entitled to a remaster.
An action-adventure series developed by Sony and its Japan studio team (which has now closed its doors), Gravity Rush lets us play the role of a gravity-defying heroine.

We’ve just seen a young woman diving at full speed through the air, so it’s hard to get a sense of it, but the short extract is enough to mark the viewer’s skepticism and sign some very disapproving opinions.

Such a project could logically coincide with the promotion of a new film and breathe new life into the saga.
According to the Gaming Leaks subreddit (which has already revealed information about Gravity Rush, the making of the film and its screening at CES) and a few scraps of information collected on the Team ALUA Discord server, the famous remaster will be in one state. In advanced development, playtests are already underway. An official reveal is reportedly planned for May, and it’s also rumored that none of the original game’s online features will be present.But the remaster will still offer a solid photo mode.

We then asked ourselves the following question: “Is a remake or remaster of an important title, but released years ago, considered new software and, therefore, “major”?“A valid question at a time when, at the same time, rumors about a remake of the first Uncharted are starting to intensify.
