Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is upon us, and Sony has today shown off some a few brand new teaser trailers at its PlayStation keynote. Among them were two PS2-era franchises getting new life on PlayStation VR: Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner and Gungrave.

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner

Konami’s Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (2003) was originally released for PS2, but today the company announced during Sony’s Tokyo Game Show press briefing that it’s getting an enhanced version, including support for 4K and PSVR.

“All visual and aural elements have been remastered for native 4K resolution, and the action has been similarly improved with the game experience being ported to VR,” Konami said in a press release. Konami hasn’t said much yet, but the trailer maintains the game with be fully compatible with PSVR.

Gungrave VR

Gungrave, the PlayStation 2 title from Red Entertainment, is heading to PSVR in Japan sometime in 2017, with a Western release on the horizon as well. Both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive will eventually see support.

Blueside announced the game, now developed by Iggymob, as a VR exclusive based on its PS2 predecessor, although is said to go beyond the sequel Gungrave: Overdose (2004). It will integrates both third and first-person gameplay.


Among the PSVR titles were a bevy of new trailers for upcoming PS4 games. You can check them out over at Gamespot.
