Over the course of these three decades, the company has developed and published a wide array of exclusive titles. This has created a diverse library that includes some of the most iconic franchises in gaming history.
However, as the company looks forward to its future, it has also begun to reflect on its past. In an interview, Co-CEO Herman Hulst shared some insights, revealing that the company is also actively looking to revive past IPs. And what better candidate for such a revival thanGravity Rush? It is a title with immense potential that deserves another chance to shine.

Among the vast array of historic titles,Gravity Rushstands out as one of the candidates for the revival.

The game’s fluid and dynamic combat set it apart from others on the platform, butdespite the praise it received, it didn’tachieve the mainstream success it deserved.
Though the 2016 remaster gave the game a second chance (along with a sequel in 2017) to reach more players, a further revival (possibly made for current-gen consoles like PS5) would bring the franchise closer to its potential, especially with technological improvements and broader marketing.
The time is now for the PlayStation

As Sony continues to expand its portfolio, reviving this game would be a bold step that not only pays tribute to the company’s past but also paves the way for new and exciting experiences in the future.
In the end, given the current gaming landscape, the time is ripe for the console to once again harness the gravity-defying magic that made the game so unique and let it achieve new heights.
