More than 12 years after its release, Sony's last gen console still has a few notable games on the way this year; Mouse PI for Hire, Mina the Hollower, Ariana and the Eldar Codex, Bubsy 4D...

It has a 2027 release scheduled in Mega Man Dual Override.

That's the equivalent of say a PS1 game releasing in 2008, or the PS3 getting a mainstream release in 2020.

Well, with a digital store it is a lot easier to release a few titles per year for and older platform than for old consoles with only physical games.

But the PS1 also got a few games in 2008 and the years after that:

Plus, from a performance point it's more powerful than the Switch, but close enough that most settings from a Switch version could be applied and then simply called it a day for the port.



Around the Network

And yet the PS5 will make PS4's post-successor support look poor. I can see it still getting many mainstream games well into the 2040's lol, especially in the event PS6 and other hardware remain expensive throughout their generation.

But with AI in the mix, it's hard to envision what gaming will be like by then.

6 years post-replacement, on the brink of 2027, a wild first party PS4 game appeared

Dang, 13 years later and PS4 has gotten a new first party release. Such a weird decision too… I’m not sure what audience exists on PS4 that would be interested in this 2D GoW.

Yeah it is a weird move, maybe it's just that for a 2D game porting was super cheap and easy so they just figured that even if only a few people buy it, it'll still make money.
