Gravity Rush Remastered, the upgraded version of the PS Vita gem for the PS4, has just had its release date pushed forward. In a world where fans are often disappointed by delays in game launches, it’s good to see such instances once it a while.
Originally scheduled for a February 10 release, it will now be making its way to the PS4 worldwide on February 2. Developed by Project Siren, Gravity Rush is being ported to the latest Sony console with the help of Bluepoint Games, a studio known for remastering classics from the Metal Gear Solid and God of War series for modern consoles.
Gravity Rush was launched for the PS Vita back in 2012. It’s a stellar action adventure title containing role-playing as well as open world elements. It has received high praise for its gameplay which is made enjoyable by the lead character’s ability to manipulate gravity. This not only allows more combat possibilities but also provides unique movements and navigation.
The story of this game takes place in the floating city of Hekseville. The protagonist is a girl named Kat who has lost her memory, and has run into a mysterious black cat that gives her the power to manipulate gravity. Kat must use her newfound abilities to protect the people of Hekseville from the threat of a gravity storm.
Following its great reception from gamers and critics alike, Gravity Rush has a sequel under development as well. It has been confirmed to be only coming to the PS4, but there’s no release date to look forward to.
As for Gravity Rush Remastered, February 2, 2016 is when fans will be able to jump into it through their PS4 consoles.
