In an interview between the developers of Paranormasight and Famitsu, the staff of Square Enix stated that they are doing its best to get approval for a sequel. The people at the interview are Takanari Ishiyama, who was the scenario writer and director of Paranormasight, and Kazuma Oushuu, who was the producer. Other questions in the interview revolved around the game’s development and whether or not there will be more merchandise. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Ishiyama stated that it’s not up to the staff as to whether or not there will be a sequel. While he doesn’t say anything too concrete, he does state that he and the staff are doing their best. He also stated that there is the chance that characters from the first game will return in the second. However, since Square Enix has not okayed a sequel, there was not a lot of concrete information in the interview.

Other pieces of information from the interview include some behind-the-scenes trivia ont he development. In the original concept of the game, there was going to be an Edo-hen. That would take the player back in time to when the Honjo incidents took place. However, it was impossible to get panorama images of the city during the Edo period, so this idea never made it into later drafts.

Sony announced a release date for the PlayStation Portal. It’ll come out on November 15, 2023, and pre-orders will open on September 29, 2023. This will be a simultaneous worldwide release. It’ll cost 29,980 JPY/$199.99. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The PlayStation Portal is a portable version of the PS5 for when you want to game without the restrictions of being in front of a TV. Another example of usage would be if you only have one TV but someone you live with wants to use it for the night while you’re in the middle of a game. While it does require Wi-Fi, you do not have to use the Wi-Fi at home. So you could potentially play it on the go. Sony does warn that it may impact the quality of your play experience, since you can’t control how good the Wi-Fi is.

The PlayStation Portal will have all the features of a DualSense wireless controller, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The screen is 8 inches wide, and it can produce 1080p with 60 fps. You can only play PS5 games that you own. That means PlayStation Plus Premium games available via streaming are not available.

The PlayStation Portal PS5 remote play device will come out on November 15, 2023. You can pre-order it from September 29, 2023.
