Good news for all of you who played PlayStation 2 RPG Dark Cloud either way back in 2000 or when it released for PlayStation 4 last year - the Sony executives have listened to your cries, and the latest PlayStation Blogcast has confirmed that the sequel will be available on the PS4 next week. Level-5's classic will launch next Tuesday, the 19th January, and will be given the usual Trophy support and other extras that all refurbished PS2 titles get.
What's clear is that Sony is listening to the fans, which is everything that we'd hoped for. Last year , the Japanese company encouraged Twitter users to use the hashtag #PS2onPS4 to suggest games to be ported, and it sounds like Shu's crew is making good on its promise. Of course, many people are now predicting that Dark Cloud 3 will be announced for the system sometime this year, with Level-5 trying to drum up hype for the game by releasing these two classics. The question is: do you believe?
Are you excited to play Dark Cloud 2 on PS4? What other classics would you like ported to the PS4? Please, please say Star Wars Battlefront 2 in the comments below.

This is amazing news. Dark Cloud 2 was my childhood.
"Of course, many people are now predicting that Dark Cloud 3 will be announced for the system sometime this year, with Level-5 trying to drum up hype for the game by releasing these two classics. The question is, do you believe?"
I do believe.
I'd be more interested in a second rogue galaxy, by I'd settle for dark cloud 3. :3
Dark Chronicle is amoung the best console exclusives ever so hyped it's coming to ps4 DC3 getting announced would be an absolute dream!!
What I find interesting is this demand for Dark Cloud 2 came after the first one hit PS4 last month and now it's coming out next week. Is it possible that Sony can turn around "upscaled PS2 ports" that quickly?
Would love a Dark Cloud 3, haven't played Rogue Galaxy even though I have had it on PS2 for several years.
Wasn't this trademarked ages ago?
Don't kid yourselves in thinking they can pump these out so fast.
Level 5 is so deep into mobile and 3DS - see Yokai Watch - I'm not convinced we'll see DC3 or RG2.
And they just announced Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom for PS4, my guess is that's their entire console development team right there.
Too bad, Level 5 were the best for a few years, now thankfully we have Monolith.
Onimusha Sony . I will annoy you on twitter until I get it.
Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color.
Please? :3
Cracking game. I can't wait to play Spheda again, awesome.
@stevie85 I'll help you
@stevie85 Really hope Onimusha comes to the Ps4 soon. If not then there's always Ni Oh.
I've heard of this game, but I've never really bothered to look into it. Looks like I'll have to give it a spin in the future.
I still have my save game and all the photos I took in-game on my PS2 memory card. I can't say how it'll hold up now but in its time at least it was a truly magical experience.
@adf86 I'd say this coming out isn't really linked to the demand. They're just working through obvious candidates for re-release. The fact they'd already released the less popular first game implies that they were always going to release the next one. It would be like if they released Dragon Quest VII (if they were doing PS1 games as well) and then not too long after released Dragon Quest VIIl because that was the schedule. Fans would be saying "Thanks for VII but where's VIII" not aware that it was already moving along the metaphorical conveyor belt towards PSN.
Is it any better than the first one? After hearing the hype for the series, I was quite let down by the first game. Just wondering if someone could tell me if it's much better than the first one
@SoulsBourne128 Ni Oh looks decent. I'd give anything to to play though the Onimusha games again. Especially with Trophy support.
They should release Tales of Legendia, the only english Tales game I haven't played yet.
@Jayvir much better than the first one. I played the second one before the first and was disappointed. This is a rare occasion where the sequel is better.
Now if we could only get Gitaroo Man and Klonoa 2...
Level 5 is making Ni No Kuni 2 right? I love this news but I wouldn't get too excited about a potential DC 3 just yet. Maybe later in the gen if interest is still there.
