Cult PS3 Classic El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Will Make a Pilgrimage to PS5

When it first released on the PS3 in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron attracted a lot of attention due to its striking art style and strong narrative. In the years since, the release has established cult status, and has been ported to various other systems – including the Nintendo Switch. And now, it’ll be remastered for PS5, according to an announcement made at the Tokyo Game Show.

Gematsu reports that game director Sawaki Takeyasu owns the rights to the release, and decided to make the announcement suddenly during a livestream. “I can say whatever I want,” he revealed. “For example, I’m saying this for the first time, but it’s completely fine for me to say right now that we’re making a PS5 version of El Shaddai.”
