PS2 Classic From 2003 Just Stealth Released With New Remaster

22 years after its initial release in 2003, a remastered version of a classic PS2 game has made a surprise comeback. That year, games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Call of Duty, Tony Hawk’s Underground, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Enter the Matrix, SSX 3, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, F-Zero GX, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Beyond Good & Evil, Jak II, Manhunt, Final Fantasy X-2, Viewtiful Joe, and True Crime: Streets of LA were some of the standout titles. However, compared to the years that preceded and followed it, 2003 was a relatively light year for video game releases.

Despite being overlooked through the passage of time, several games from 2003 like Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, developed by Eurocom and published by THQ (now THQ Nordic), have found new life on contemporary hardware. Fans who recall this GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 classic can now reexperience it, as a remaster has been launched on the PS4 this week. While a native PS5 version hasn’t been released yet, players can enjoy it on the PS5 through PS4 backward compatibility.

As a gamer embarking on an epic adventure, I find myself in the sand-swept realm of ancient Egypt, starring as the cunning Sphinx. My mission? To traverse this mystical land through enchanted gateways, thwarting the malevolent schemes of Set.

Sphinx’s perilous journey calls for quick thinking, nimbleness, and unique abilities. But when stealth is key, I can count on my reluctant ally, The Mummy, to lend a helping hand. The quest isn’t easy; it demands every ounce of courage and cunning.

The ultimate goal? Retrieve the sacred magical crowns of Egypt that have been unjustly stolen. With these powerful artifacts in hand, I can vanquish Set and restore peace to our world. So buckle up, fellow adventurers, for a journey through time and treachery as we delve into the heart of ancient Egypt’s mythos!

Currently, the updated version of the 2003 timeless game can be played exclusively on PlayStation 4. However, starting from April 15, it will also be accessible on Xbox One. As of now, no other platforms have been disclosed for its release.

Regarding the remastered parts, it’s uncertain as THQ Nordic hasn’t disclosed that info yet. If you’re curious and want to know more, you can find details by purchasing a guide priced at $14.99.
