Rumors Suggest Classic PS3 Game Series Could Return

Send Push
Despite the dominance of modern gen titles on highly powerful consoles, old titles still have special places in our hearts. For example, the gaming world right now might be obsessed with high-end PS5 titles like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Helldivers 2 and many more.


But our heart still yearns for classic PlayStation titles like MediEvil, Sly Cooper, Infamous, and many more. However, Sony might have heard these requests and is probably bringing one of the most highly anticipated OG franchises back in action, which once rocked the PS3 and PS Vita.


Motorstorm might be making a comeback

In recent times, Sony has inclined a lot in bringing back OG titles which have been dormant for years. For example, at the start of this year, Sony teamed up with Bandai Namco to release the remastered version of the classic PS Vita action RPG title, Freedom War.


Sony also brought back the highly popular Killzone franchise to a certain extent when the company released some crossover content in Helldivers 2. As everything stands, it seems now it’s time for the PS3 classic, Motorstorm.


The Motorstorm series actually opened a new chapter in the racing genre by introducing hardcore off-road racing. Smaller vehicles like dirt bikes and the like were the main focus of the majority of all-terrain racing games at the time, such as MX vs. ATV.


Despite all the love it got from the fans, there has been no installment from this franchise since 2012. However, that might change pretty soon.


Stellar Entertainment, the development studio behind Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered, is currently working on a AAA arcade racing game which will be based on Unreal Engine 5. Now, an eagle-eyed redditor spotted that a PlayStation XDEV employee shared a job listing on the official website of Stellar Entertainment. And this is how all the speculations began.


It’s believed that the racing game Stellar is working now is actually for PlayStation and might be a Motorstorm installment. However, all of these are just mere speculations, so these rumors should be taken as grains of salt. It’s true that Sony holds multiple racing game franchises, like Gran Turismo, Driveclub, and many more.


But this AAA title doesn't belong to these franchises as neither of them are based on Unreal Engine 5. So, there are high chances we might see the PS3 classic making a comeback.
