Ghostrunner kind of came and went, didn't it? The indie slash-'em-up was well received when it launched in the latter half of last year, but it sort of got lost among all the next-gen excitement. It was confirmed to be getting a PlayStation 5 version — complete with a free upgrade for owners of the PS4 game — so hopefully it gets a better time to shine on the new console.
So, when's this enhanced edition coming? Well, a new roadmap has been laid out for the title, and we finally have a release window. The PS5 version is coming in the Fall of 2021, so it's still several months out. However, the roadmap shows there's a lot being added to the game in the meantime.
New modes and DLC are coming throughout the year, including a photo mode, Kill Run Mode — in which you must complete levels on a time limit — and premium cosmetic packs. By the time it reaches PS5, it'll be a bigger, better experience.
In related news, publisher 505 Games has acquired the Ghostrunner IP. Coughing up a cool €5 million, the company now has full ownership of the property, while All In! Games, which co-published the title, will continue to receive a share of profits.

I recently played through this and thought it was fantastic. It’s a hardcore but rewarding experience.
Easily my favorite 2020 cyberpunk game by a Polish studio
It's a long time to fall 2021 but I believe it's a pretty small team and they're doing a great job.
This is a great game but hard as nails
I highly recommend getting if you haven't already. It's an amazing game.
@HotGoomba exactly what I said
Have been interested in grabbing this. Glad to see its getting the next gen upgrade!

Games looks cool, will consider getting once it hits $20.
