The Messenger released on PC and Nintendo Switch in August of last year to critical acclaim, and it looks like the PlayStation 4 is going to get a taste of the action soon if a new PEGI rating for the title is anything to go by.
Spotted by the ever reliable Wario64 over on Twitter, the rating is rather strangely a 7+, but take a look at any action online and you'll realise it warrants something double that at the very least. Our friends over at Nintendo Life slapped a 9/10 rating onto their review, describing it as "a shining example of great game design. We’d highly recommend you pick this one up; it’s the very definition of a modern classic."
Rest assured, we can't wait to get our hands on this one once it makes its way to PS4. Would you be interested in picking up The Messenger? Pretend to be a ninja in the comments below.

It was a great game, but I really think the first half was much stronger than the second half. Still worth a playthrough for sure.
I thought about picking this up on Switch But I'm glad I waited. It'll be nice to play with with a real controller.
Play it with a real controller on a system that will make them money
@Enuo get yourself a pro controller on switch, is as good as the DS4 imo... plus the battery lasts 5x longer
@Dodoo D-pad is way better on the DualShock 4/Vita than the Joycons/Switch Pro. I pretty much stopped playing Hollow Knight on it because of that. If you're happy with yours, that's cool of course.
(Battery on the Switch Pro is way better indeed.)
Looking forward to finally playing this one, glad I waited.
Yeah, I like the pro controller on Switch a lot, but it comes down to preference and what’s more comfortable on the hands. I’d take it over the dual shock personally, but I have small hands.
Really enjoyed this on Switch, well worth a try! Cool to see it coming to PS4.
Yes! Finally playable with a decent dpad!
@Kidfried Hmm, I was wondering whether to get a Pro controller or not since I really find the Joy-Cons sore to use for too long. I actually resorted to playing BoTW with a Cube controller which is semi-manageable. I do agree about the Vita having a great D-Pad but is the Pro controller still worth it even without a great one?
@Kidfried I'm excited to play this game with my M30 controller. The D-Pad is just superb. <3
@nessisonett Aside from the D-Pad, the Pro controller is probably the most comfortable pad this gen. Also, it has a crazy long battery life.
But then, I actually like using the joycons because of how they nestle into my hand, so what do I know?
Interesting! I am planning on buying a Nintendo Switch later this month, and this is one game I was going to buy. I probably still will, but I'm stoked that it's finally coming to PS4.
This game is amazing. DLC stages are coming soon too!
Ive heard good things about this game. What genre is it?
@nessisonett Fully agree with @Ralizah on the Pro being very comfortable and I play most Switch games with it. Just not the 2d ones - but I play those on PS4 anyways
@ellsworth004 Metroidvania! For those who like Hollow Knight, Bloodstained: Curse of The Moon, etc.
@Kidfried yeah d-pad on DS4 is good though I had no problem with the pro controller playing hollow knight with the d-pad on that. Having said that I’m still to beat hollow knight and the grim troupe so maybe that’s why!
Like you say though it’s all personal preference. Out of interest the pro controller has become the most used controller on steam!
