Classic Namco properties Klonoa and Mr. Driller appear to be on the brink of resurfacing, as Bandai Namco has trademarked 'Klonoa Encore' and 'Mr. Driller Encore' in Japan. The two titles are expected to be remasters of some kind, as Katamari Damacy Encore (known as Katamari Damacy Reroll in the West) is a remaster of Katamari Damacy.
Of course, Katamari Damacy Reroll didn't even launch on PlayStation 4 -- it's available on Nintendo Switch and PC only -- so there's currently no way of knowing whether these upcoming remasters will actually make it to Sony's console. In any case, we should have more information soon -- an official reveal can't be far off.

Oh hell yeah, Klonoa!!!
Love Klonoa! The remake of the first one is one of the few Wii titles I enjoyed.
I have Klonoa 2 for ps2. Snagged it a few years back for a tenner... Would happily get this in a heartbeat!
Just it ain't a Klonoa game to me if the ending don't make ya bawl your eyes out, even with the Phantomilian (gobbledegook) voice acting! š
Klona on the GBA was amazing , one of my all time favorites.
Sonic's looking a little different these days
Klonoa was a brilliant game and I managed to get it working on my jailbroken PSP. Klonoa 2 was superb as well and I they both deserve to have a much bigger audience.
The ending of the first Klonoa game traumatized me as a child. Today, Iād see the flaws with it very clearly and offer criticism. But back then, whew.
Fun times though, Iād pick up a remaster.
I played klonoa 1 and 2, both are good games, I hope bamco remaster these games for ps4
I absolutely loved Klonoa and a new game or a remaster gets me as excited as a six year old on Christmas Day!
A Special Edition with a Klonoa Cuddly toy sounds good too.
Get in, Klonoa is awesome!
So, Regrab and Redrill in the west?
I really hope Katamari gets a ps4 release. I love those games.
klonoa already got a 1:1 remake on the wii... so is this just a port of that remake? it wasn't bad but wasn't great either due to the clumsy controls. i think people would prefer a proper sequel instead...
Nice one, would love a remaster / remake for Armored Core as well.
Hold the phone! A Klonoa remake! Move over Shenmue III, you've now been demoted to 2nd most anticipated game!
