PS Plus Premium Plotting Superior Version of PS2’s War of the Monsters for PS5, PS4

by

The underappreciated giant monster game for PlayStation 2, War of the Monsters, that was previously brought over to PlayStation 4 a decade ago during Sony’s unsuccessful emulation endeavors, seems to be in line for a revamped rerelease.

Gematsu discovered listings on the Taiwanese rating board for both PS5 and PS4 versions of the classic game, implying that it may be making a comeback using Sony’s new emulator. It’s not the first time this has occurred; Siren was also remastered as part of PlayStation’s ongoing retro revival effort.

So, what you’re looking at is an opportunity to enjoy the timeless work of Incognito Entertainment again, but this time with a larger collection of achievements, the ability to rewind, and overall enhanced gameplay.

This game is often overlooked, but it received overwhelmingly positive critical acclaim when it first came out.

In the spirit of those thrilling 1950s monster movies, I find myself immersed in an exhilarating experience where I take on different colossal creatures in intense battle sequences. It’s not just a fighting game; it has a unique charm reminiscent of games like Super Smash Bros, setting it apart from more traditional titles such as Street Fighter.

Tomorrow, on the 9th of April, we anticipate that the new emulated version will be unveiled as part of the upcoming updates for both PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium. A tentative release date could be as early as the 15th of April.

If you’re not willing to wait, we suggest giving GigaBash a try instead. It appears to have been influenced by War of the Monsters and can be played right now on PS5 and PS4.
