Hands up if you remember the Klonoa games! The original PlayStation and PS2 platformers were reasonably big back in the day, and now they're being remastered as part of a collection called Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series. It includes Klona: Door to Phantomile (PS1) and Klona 2: Lunatea's Veil (PS2), and it's coming to both PS5 and PS4...at some point.
Indeed, we don't have a release window to go on, because the package is coming to Nintendo Switch first on the 8th July. Publisher Bandai Namco says that information for other platforms will be announced at a later date.

Cool announcement. I liked Door to Phantomile, so I'll definitely grab this collection at some point.
Love a good platformer so this sounds up my alley
Door to Phantomile is really good - like still really good on Vita. Really looking forward to this, never played number 2. That music 🤤
Such a lovely surprise, played the demo for Klonoa 1 to death but never got round to getting the game. I won't make that mistake twice.
Saw this on Nintendo Life. So glad it’s coming to PlayStation!
There was a remake of the first game on Wii I recall, I think I owned a copy at some point.
Love remasters of games like this that actually deserve/need them.
Never played these, always thought they looked pretty good
Best news of 2022!
That's great, wish they would make a new game.
Dont the PS One versions sell for something silly now?
OMG
This just brought back so many nostalgic memories. Had completely forgotten it even existed... Played the demo to hell and back as a kid lol
Yay! These were such lovely games!
These look ace and are great games!
Oh baby that’s EXCELLENT!!! Love both these games!! Still have my original copies too! And the original game I have for Wii also. This is a Day 1!
i played a little bit of Klonoa Door to Phantomile on the PS1 back in the day but never got fully invested. i thought it looked cool but i guess i just wasn't feelin' it then. these remasters look really nice. def will be a cop. i kinda wish it came out sooner, but itll just get buried under HFW and ER.
would like to see a Klonoa 3 for the modern systems
Shame they're making us wait longer for PS4/PS5 ports, but looking forward to playing all the same!
I could never get into this series unfortunately.
This is excellent news!
Highlight of the Direct for me! Can't wait to buy it! And one for my niece! And everyone should get it because I want a Klonoa 3 already!!!
I remember playing and finishing both games on psone, definitely getting this 😃
That's great news, since the second game sells for silly (high) prices on ebay.
I've been waiting for something new from Klonoa for a long time !! The last time I played Klonoa was with a friend who had a Wii
Now if they could remaster the Tomba series as well please 😬
I remember playing the demo on PSone. Always meant to play the full game so I’m looking forward to this!
The only thing I can think to say is “Wahoo!”
Loved the first game, never played the second one, so I'd definitely buy this collection, it's good that they're starting to bring back some classic games.
This is good. Klonoa on PS1 regularly goes for around $500 and Klonoa 2 even more at around $700 for complete copies. These two games are nearly the most expensive games in existence for their respective systems (nearly).
Hopefully this gets a physical release and pushes the prices down a bit so I can snag some original copies without selling my kidney.
@Rob_230
Yes. For both of these games - complete copies - you are looking at around 1200 dollars. That's USD. Among the most expensive games for the PS1/PS2.
No real idea why - just one of those games "collectors" have determined is some sort of holy grail for their systems. Low production + they were actually good games all things considered.
Hope this drives down prices a bit.
@AdamNovice me too! Very fond memories as a kid, and such a good game! Looking forward to finally playing the whole thing.
@Bagwag82 that'd be ace
@kyleforrester87 Klonoa 2 was even better.
Great news! I love a good platformer.
I checked my collection and I actually stiil have Klonoa 2 for PS2.
Hi there fellow gamers.
This was quite a nice surprise when I saw it on Nintendo Direct.
Haven´t heard Klonoa name in years.....
Both games are really good, Klonoa 2 even more so.
Loved it on PS2. Solid platformer.
Very glad it´s making a comeback of some kind.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
