Sol Cresta is a sequel to the beloved Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta games, coming from developer Platinum Games almost 36 years after the originals release, with Hideki Kamiya at the helm as the chief game designer and we’ll be able to play it on PS4 sometime this year.
The news was announced during PlayStation’s Indie reveals today (August 5) on the official PlayStation Blog, where Kamiya talked about the game and gave some history and some reasoning as to why Platinum Games was going this route.
“Platinum Games has been fortunate to have the titles we’ve released receive acclaim for the ‘action feel’, and we’ve come to be known as ‘the studio that makes action games’. However, as a studio we want to make all kinds of fun games, not just action games.”
Kamiya also spoke about how these kinds of games delighted him as a child, and that making this is more about making the kind of game he always wanted to play himself as a kid.
