In late 2018, developer FDG Entertainment brought us a spiritual successor to the Wonder Boy series with Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. It's a highly regarded 2D platformer with a wonderful cartoonish style. Now, it's set to brighten up next-gen consoles too. The studio has announced an enhanced version of the game is heading to PlayStation 5.

As stated in the above tweet, Monster Boy will run at native 4K and will support 120 frames per second on PS5, so it's going to look absolutely pin sharp. Better still, current owners of the PS4 game will be upgraded to the next-gen version for free, following the trend of several other titles.

There's no word on when the PS5 version will arrive, but it's obviously good news for fans regardless. Did you play Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom? Will you check it out again on PS5? Don't be monsters in the comments section below.
