At the time of this writing, Sony has not officially announced any of the retro games that will be a part ofPS Plus Premiumwhen it launches in June. However, the Korean ratings board may have revealed four of the games that will be a part of the service. As spotted by Gematsu, new ratings have been issued for classic PlayStation gamesSyphon Filter,Syphon Filter 2,Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, andSyphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow.
It’s possible these ratings could be for a properSyphon Filtercollection or other re-releases, but the more likely scenario is that these games are coming to PS Plus Premium. And since theSyphon Filtergameshave been leaked in this manner, it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that even more retro PS Plus Premium games will leak in the same way in the weeks leading up to its launch this summer.
If this leak is accurate, then it seemsSyphon Filterfanswill be able to play through the entire series on their PS4 and PS5 systems, except for the PS2 gameSyphon Filter: The Omega Strain.Syphon Filter: The Omega Strainreceived the worst reviews out of the bunch and is generally considered to be the worst in the series, so that could explain its absence, but one would think that it would be better to just have it on there as well for completion’s sake.
Despite theSyphon Filterseries being popular with fans, it’s remained dormant since 2007’sLogan’s Shadowon PSP. Developer Bend Studio since went on to make handheld spin-offs of theResistanceandUnchartedfranchises, while producing original IPDays Gonefor PS4. It’s unclear what exactly Bend Studio is working on right now, butit’s not aDays Gonesequel, so maybeSyphon Filtercould make a proper comeback one day.
In the meantime, hopefully Sony reveals more details about thePS Plus Premium games listso fans know whether or not they should plan on signing up for the service.
