Limited Run Games, alongside developer Implicit Conversions, is readying a port of PS1 adventure Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, and it's out very soon.

Coming to PS5 and PS4, the game launches on 27th February 2026, as announced recently on socials:

The original game was ported to modern platforms last year, so it makes sense to follow that up with the second entry.

This port of Fear Effect 2 was actually announced a few months ago, when this trailer was revealed:

It looks to be a pretty straightforward conversion of the sci-fi adventure, though it does feature some mod-cons like save states, rewind, widescreen mode, and so on.

Fear Effect 2 is a prequel to the first title, featuring combat and puzzles to solve as you make your way through a story about several mercenaries who share a common goal. The games feature a unique system in which your character's heart rate affects your ability in combat.
