Fear Effect 2 Raises Heart Rates on PS5, PS4 Later This Month

by

Limited Run Games and Implicit Conversions are releasing a version of the PlayStation 1 adventure game, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, and it will be available very shortly.

Coming to PS5 and PS4, the game launches on 27th February 2026, as announced recently on socials:

Since the first game was successfully updated for current systems last year, releasing the sequel now is a logical next step.

This port of Fear Effect 2 was actually announced a few months ago, when this trailer was revealed:

As a fan, it seems like they’ve taken the classic sci-fi adventure and given it a nice update! It’s not a huge overhaul, but they’ve added some really welcome features like being able to save anywhere, rewind if you mess up, and play it in widescreen – stuff that makes the experience so much better.

Fear Effect 2 is a story that takes place before the events of the original game. Players will guide mercenaries working towards the same objective, overcoming challenges with a mix of fighting and puzzle-solving. A special feature of the game is that your character’s performance in combat is linked to their heart rate.
