Arcade Classic Arkanoid Hits the Bricks on PS5, PS4 Very Soon

Hamster Corporation has released another game in their Arcade Archives series, and this time it’s the classic arcade hit, Arkanoid.

The classic brick-breaking game is coming to PlayStation 5 (as part of Arcade Archives 2) and PlayStation 4 (as Arcade Archives) tomorrow, May 7th, 2026. It’s a carefully recreated version of the original.

Arkanoid first appeared in arcades in 1986. It’s a game like Atari’s Breakout, but it expanded on the original with multiple levels and exciting power-ups.

You move a paddle across the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball upwards, destroying blocks above. Breaking these blocks can release power-ups that help you, such as a bigger paddle or extra balls.

As with other Arcade Archives games, this version includes helpful features like save states, customizable controls, and a rewind function, making it a great way to experience this classic game.
