Square Enix’s Yoshinori Kitase has revealed that the Japanese giant is looking in to the possibility of releasing the original Parasite Eve and its sequel on PlayStation Network.
Chatting with the folks at VG247 during a roundtable event at GamesCom last week, Kitase said that Square is only too well aware of the demand for a re-release of the classic horror outings on Sony’s online service:
“We are aware of the demand,” commented Kitase by way of a translator, “so that we are closely considering the possibility of making it available for classics."
“Obviously, Parasite Eve 1 and 2 are not only owned by [Square Enix], they are also owned by Hideaki Sena [The author of the Parasite Eve novel]. But we hope it’ll be there.”
Furthermore, The 3rd Birthday artist Tetsuya Nomura also chipped in on the matter via Twitter, teasing, “But, before The 3rd Birthday I’d like to do something for the numerous requests for the archives [version] of 1st and 2nd.”
Keep your eyes peeled for more info as we get it.
