Earlier this week, Sony set the stage for the rest of this year and beyond with the first State of Play for 2025. But while looking to the future, Sony didn’t forget about the past. During the onslaught of announcements and reveal trailers, Sony noted From Software’s 1997 PS1 mecha shooter, Armored Core, is coming to PlayStation Plus Classic Games in the near future.
Armored Core Project Phantasma and Armored Core Master of Arena are also slated to hit PS Plus Classic Games “soon,” although Sony didn’t set a specific date for either of those titles to arrive. The most recent game in the series was Armored Core 6 in 2023, and there hasn’t been any concrete word yet about any additional sequels on the way.
In the more immediate future, the PSP game Patapon 3 is making the leap to PS4 and PS5 when it joins PlayStation Plus Premium on February 18. This adventure/rhythm game will feature newly enhanced visuals as well as rewind and quick save features as players lead their Patapon followers into 80 different quests.
Dropship: United Peace Force–which was originally released for PS2 in 2002–is also coming to PlayStation Plus Premium on February 18. Like Patapon 3, Dropship will feature rewind and quick save features, as well enhanced graphics. Dropship puts players in control of an advanced military force of land and air vehicles as they battle terrorists and organized crime across the planet.
Among the more recent titles coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on February 18 are Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and TopSpin 2K25. You can see the complete lineup in the gallery below.
