A new version of the PS2 classic will be launching this summer, and it’s no surprise that the remake is launching via PS4. What’s surprising is that it’s not launching via PS5, but it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch. Fortunately, for PlayStation fans who have switched from PS4 to PS5, the game will be playable on the latter via backwards compatibility. Why the game isn’t coming natively to PS5, we don’t know, but it’s possible that the port will be saved for a post-launch tag.

Meanwhile, the converter is handled by the aforementioned Nippon Ichi Software and Vanillaware. In other words, the original limbs are back.
The re-release was specifically designed as an “Enhanced Enhancer” and comes with new gameplay systems, improved graphics, a fast-forward feature, a mid-battle save function, a new “Hard” difficulty level, a new skill tree, and gallery mode.
