Legendary game designers Ken and Roberta Williams make their grand return with the launch of Colossal Cave. Based on the text adventure from the late 1970s, this is a first-person, 3D reimagining of the title. The original is considered one of the most influential games of all time, so this more modern homage should be an interesting excursion at the very least. If you're curious to try it, you're in luck: the game is out on PS5 today, 19th January 2023. A PS4 version is also on the way.
Colossal Cave is a game about exploring a mysterious cave network, where you'll come across friendly and not-so-friendly characters and discover all sorts of hidden treasures. It's a non-linear adventure that's intended to be replayed multiple times in order to see everything. It sounds delightfully old school — we're very curious to see how it shakes out.
In addition to the regular PS5 release, it appears the game will also get a PSVR2 version in future. Caught by Gematsu, a now-removed trailer basically confirms it's heading to Sony's new hardware, though there's no release date attached just yet.
Will you be playing this new take on Colossal Cave on PS5? Would you rather wait for the PSVR2 version to emerge? Tell us in the comments section below.

Only reason I have even heard of the original game is because it was a plot point in the show Halt and Catch Fire. Looks interesting all the same.
A game I would otherwise have little interest in suddenly becomes much more promising simply by putting us in the caves through VR and being able to look characters in the eye, lol.
@PegasusActual93 i loved that tv series, stumbled upon it on prime few years back.
So Capcom outsourced the development of Deep Down? lol
I am a gamer today because of my Atari 2600 and Sierra Games. I am def. checking this out.
@Westernwolf4 Thats quite a time back I had 2600 but I dropped it from the attick and it broke....
