The classic platformer comes to consoles sooner than you may think.

By Jimmy Champane

The iOS and PC remake of Another World will be coming to PS4, PS3 and PS Vita next week, Abrial Dacosta, CEO of The Digital Lounge, announced in a post on the PlayStation Blog. Coming June 25, it will feature both Cross-Buy and Cross-Save functionality, in addition to cross-platform trophy support.
Another World is a platformer that was released over 20 years ago on Amiga, and in 2011 it was re-released with enhanced visuals on iOS and PC. The original creator of Another World, Eric Chahi, has been working with freelance game developer Martial Hesse-Dreville and The Digital Lounge to port it to PlayStation devices.

});

In the post, Chahi went into detail about some of the changes that have been made for the remastered version.”Since the original version, the re-editions have introduced a number of nice additions, like 256 colors backgrounds, up to 720p resolutions, more checkpoints and remastered sound effects,” Chahi explains.”The game is rendered at a higher than displayed resolution to enable clean anti-aliased polygon edges,” said Hesse-Dreville. “On PS4 that’s a whopping 2560×1600 pixels! The backgrounds have been edited by Eric to a higher resolution and are now displayed in full color. The result is a noise-free, crisper, and more vibrant environment.”A 3DS and Wii U version of the game have also been announced. They are supposedly being released on June 19.Jimmy Champane is a freelance writer who is beyond excited to make his own levels in Hotline Miami 2. Follow him on Twitter and find him on IGN.
