Originally released for the PSP all the way back in 2008 and 2009 respectively, Class of Heroes and Class of Heroes 2 are returning to PlayStation over a decade later. These fairly hardcore, grind-heavy dungeon crawlers were met with hit and miss reviews back in the day, but they did manage to establish a following amongst players who enjoyed their party-building and character progression systems.
Anyway, they're being digitally re-released as the remastered Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition and Class of Heroes 2G: Remaster Edition on PS5. And in the West, a physical version titled Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition will also be made available. They're all dropping later this month, on the 26th April.
Dare we ask if you remember the original Class of Heroes games? Might you be interested in these re-releases? Head to the depths in the comments section below.

Finally, games to push current gen systems to their limits
@Czar_Khastik Apparently you can play the game with Ray Tracing but unfortunately it's locked at 30 fps. There's only so much a PS5 can process at the same time.
@Pat_trick That's a shame. We can only hope this remastered collection gets remastered for PS6
This made something flicker in my memory, and sure enough, my Amazon order history tells me that this along with Crimson Gem Saga shipped in June of 2009. So rather than dig it and the PSP out of their snug cardboard tomb in the basement, I’ll do the lazy thing and just buy the re-release.
Not on my radar at all but release ALL of the PSP games, please. One of the best handhelds ever imo.
this is odd - thought about this game for the first time in YEARS a few days ago.
fun little dungeon crawler, but ... why?
I'll stick with the Etrian Odyssey series. Pretty much every other first-person dungeon crawler I've played has been a disappointment in comparison.
@sanguinekhajiit "fun little dungeon crawler, but ... why?"
...the same reason almost any older game is ported to modern consoles?
Looks like my kinda thing but it depends on the price.
@Ralizah A smaller company and its makes them cash so why not you dont have to get it. Its Pqube thet make thise smaller games that have a small following.
@Flaming_Kaiser Pretty much my point.
The game exists. If you can port it to a modern system and make more money from it, why wouldn't you?
@Ralizah I got some games i really liked that are so old or obscure. 😁👍
@Ralizah Maybe Sony could port Soul Sacrifice.
@Ralizah there's barely any comments on this article and mine was basically the only one referencing any sense of actual nostalgia for it (someone else had it and didn't even remember buying it in the first place, let alone playing the game), so that's why i'm wondering why they're bothering spending money on this. didn't think that was too complicated to figure out.
@sanguinekhajiit Presumably their market analysis expands beyond the confines of Push Square article comment sections, and they think they can make a profit on the port.
That, indeed, shouldn't be too complicated to figure out.
@Ralizah presumably a small market sample could be considered legitimate analysis, particularly from a typically robust (and rude) comment section on a website mostly visited by hardcore gamers.
have a better day, bud.
Still baffles me - this game is also coming out on the Switch yet the PS4 gets ignored?
