Bubsy Is Back in the Purrfect Collection on PS5 1

Forgotten platforming furry Bubsy is on the cusp of making another comeback, in the Purrfect Collection on PS5. This one is being repurposed using Limited Run Gamesā€™ Carbon Engine, and promises to explore the ā€œfranchiseā€™s troubled history and enduring popularityā€. That includes infamous PS1 stinker Bubsy 3D, which was developed by Days Gone maker Bend Studio.

ā€œBubsy in: The Purrfect Collection is a playable history that includes games, artifacts and interviews,ā€ the press release reads. ā€œAll of the games have been carefully updated for modern PCs and consoles using Limited Runā€™s proprietary Carbon Engine. Along the way the team was able to smooth out some of the gamesā€™ rough edges.ā€

Thereā€™s no specific release date just yet, but the titleā€™s due out at some point in 2025. As this is a Limited Run Games joint, you can also expect a physical edition to deploy alongside the digital version, with more information to follow in the future.
