In an announcement that we're sure has many of you jumping with joy, Odin Sphere is getting remade on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita. Originally a much loved and visually stunning PlayStation 2 action role-playing game, it's due out in its native Japan in January next year.

Entitled Odin Sphere: Leifdrasir, the game won't be a simple remaster of the 2007 release. Instead, it's having many of its gameplay systems tweaked - hopefully for the better. And, of course, it'll be getting the full HD treatment to boot.

Are you hyped? Check out the gorgeous trailer that we've embedded, and tell us how badly you want a Western launch in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I'd love some classic Level 5 games to get the PS4 makeover. Dark Cloud/Chronicle, Rogue Galaxy, White Knight Chronicles, Dragon Quest VIII.
T'would be awesome.

Played Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII and Ni no Kuni. Dragon Quest VIII and Ni no Kuni being my favorites out of the three mentioned. Not sure what the situation is currently with Studio Ghibli but they need to collaborate with Level-5 to make another game.
