PSP Classic Comes to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5

Bandai Namco developed this gem as an exclusive PSP title and remained confined to the handheld realm until this awaited release. But what's new in this comeback?

Bandai Namco has given it a refreshed glow with enhancements, including up-rendering, quick-save features, and custom video filters. This reimagining brings not just nostalgia but also a revamped gaming experience for both long-time fans and newcomers.

The heart of the "Soulcalibur" series lies in its weapon-based combat, and "Broken Destiny" stands tall in this regard. The Gauntlet mode, an integral part of the game, invites players on a riveting adventure, unraveling missions while honing battle skills and techniques.

Moreover, a thrilling surprise awaits as Kratos, the iconic character from the God of War series, makes a guest appearance, adding an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay.
