As is so often the case with rumours relating to Japan Studio’s terrifying Siren series, Sony has shut the speculation down. Earlier in the week, the Romanian arm of Sony Computer Entertainment hinted that the frightening franchise could be making a comeback on the PlayStation 4, but this was merely a mix-up according to the platform holder.
The unannounced title was listed alongside upcoming next generation blockbusters such as inFAMOUS: Second Son and DriveClub, but it turns out that it was confused with Tequila Works’ upcoming ICO-esque adventure, RIME. “Siren was the working title name for RIME prior to its announcement at Gamescom 2013,” a spokesperson told IGN.
We’re a little bit disappointed, to be honest, as we can only imagine how sinister the Shibito would look on Sony’s supercharged hardware. Still, we suppose that creator Keiichirō Toyama has his work cut out with Gravity Rush 2. Would you rather return to the topsy-turvy world of Hekseville, or endure the holiday from Hell in Hanuda Village? Drift away in the comments section below.

I want a new Gravity Rush and a new Siren. I also kinda want Gravity Rush 2 to be on the PS4. (Hides.)

I actually was hoping Gravity Rush 2 would be a PS4 game as well. I'm a huge fan and supporter of Vita but that art style on PS4, I would love to see it, and thanks to DS4's touchpad we could still get a similar kind of gameplay experience.
As far as Siren not sure I totally buy this story, I think Sony slipped up and let the cat out of the bag a bit earlier than wanted. I hope that's the case anyway. The excuse that Rime's working title was Siren seems too convenient.
@get2sammyb As much as I loved Gravity Rush 2 to be on the PS4 I think the series hhould remain on the Vita
I finished the first game and I loved it, I think it's a must buy on the Vita and for that same reason an excuse to own the console.
If the Vita loses that it will be another reason to skip the console and I would hate to have it die so soon as I love my Vita.
Hehe, same thing was with Croatian Playstation branch. Actually, that release was published by Steve Foster, one of higher managers for East and Southeast Europe. Sirens were listed...
@Gamer83 I agree, smells fishy to me. I want a new siren were just playing it earlier this week. Really enjoyed it.

The fact that Project Siren renamed themselves Team Gravity, and the fact that they're just an off-shoot of Japan studio confirmed to be throwing themselves entirely in developing GR2 should have made it obvious this game wasn't happening.
What Siren fan would want a Siren without Keiichiro Toyama? That's what you have gotten if this game was being made, because of course he's going to focus on the Vita's killer app.
