Hi everyone. We’re really excited to finally reveal that two classic Quantic Dream games are coming to PlayStation 4 only for Europe and the PAL region – we’re bringing both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls to a PS4 near you soon. Both titles will be available as individual digital releases, with a two-game bundle also available both digitally and physically.

For many players Heavy Rain was a defining moment in their gaming history, and for us it was definitely a milestone of the PS3 generation. The BAFTA and AIAS winning game helped establish what we like to call ‘interactive drama’ back in 2010, and loads of you have told us over the years how much the game’s story of a father who would do anything for his son moved you.

We’re really proud of Heavy Rain and we can’t wait for you to either play it again or experience it for the very first time.

Later in the life of the PS3 came its spiritual sequel, Beyond: Two Souls. We loved the epic journey of Jodie Holmes, featuring an incredible performance from Ellen Page complemented by the wonderful talent of Willem Dafoe.

Jodie’s story is a tumultuous one, and one we know touched many of you at the time. On PS4 you will have the opportunity to experience that story played in chronological order, watching Jodie grow from a curious young girl to a powerful woman. We’re hoping you’ll get a kick out of this much-requested mode.

We can’t wait to show you what they look like now… We’ll share more details on exactly when and how you can get your hands on these classic games soon!

Edit:

You are not left out America

This is only on the EU blog as well. Am I reading this correctly?

 

[Xando]

EU/Pal only?

[hal9001]

Why the hell did they not promote this at the conference?

 

[marrec]

Ehhhhhh... good for fans of Quantic Dreams.

 

[dglavimans]

Yes! Finally get to play these games
This really is a amazing e3

 

[Jawmuncher]

This is only on the EU blog as well. Am I reading this correctly?

Has to be. Why would they not release anywhere else when they have before?

Regardless heavy rain is a nice surprise that's the one I wanted to play again most.

 

[Carl]

Oh my gooddddd yes. Announcement of the show for me. Day one. I am a whore for QD

 

[Canis lupus]

Glad they didn't forget Heavy Rain, one of the best games of last gen. It includes the Taxidermist dlc right?

Why the hell did they not promote this at the conference?

They didn't promote a lot of things: Ratchet&Clank, Until Dawn, Tearaway, UC Collection, exclusives by Japanese 3rd parties.

 

[Certinty]

YESSSS!!!

Day 1 for Heavy Rain, what a masterpiece. Couldn't care about Beyond, that was so meh.

 

[Mandelbo]

Any enhancements listed?

Apparently you can play Beyond in chronological order now. Didn't see any mention of changes to Heavy Rain though.

 

[Skii]

Why the hell did they not promote this at the conference?

There was far too many megatons for them to drop this without it being lost in all the commotion.

 

[woen]

Individual digital releases + physical & digital bundle

Both titles will be available as individual digital releases, with a two-game bundle also available both digitally and physically.

Beyond

On PS4 you will have the opportunity to experience that story played in chronological order, watching Jodie grow from a curious young girl to a powerful woman. We’re hoping you’ll get a kick out of this much-requested mode.

[JimmyRustler]

Cool, never played Beyond before.

 

[Chaserjoey]

Beyond has been said to be on the PS4 for like 2 years I swear. It's good to finally get this announced

 

[YianGaruga]

Regardless heavy rain is a nice surprise that's the one I wanted to play again most.

Yeah it makes no sense but why would you point out PS4 exclusivity for those titles?

 

[GHG]

Nice nice. More than happy to try these out if the price is right.

Do we get Move support for heavy rain?

Spoiler

 

[SerTapTap]

Beyond could really, REALLY do with the improvement in image quality so I'm all for it, though I'm not sure I'd rebuy, maybe if the bundle price is nice.

Why the hell did they not promote this at the conference?

The first response to this on twitter is "Oh good, just what we need. MORE remasters", that plus everything at the conference was WAY bigger than this.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yessss! Loved both and really love to replay Heavy Rain. Both games were awesome.

 

[Bedameister]

Finally, I've been waiting for Beyond for a long time

 

[CaviarMeths]

Does it have controls this time.

 

[Diebuster]

Is that just worded poorly or is it really not coming to NA?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Press 'X' to Jason

Now in HD-

edit:WAIT ONLY EU? RIP

 

[Pankratous]

Nice, haven't managed to play either of them last gen, so will lively get them this time around.

[Vitanimus]

I, for one, am shocked

 

[bigboss370]

If its a digital release as well why is this EU only? Also...no mention of the word "remaster"? Is this a straight port?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is that just worded poorly or is it really not coming to NA?

That would be beyond dumb if it didn't. Even so the PS4 is region free? So I guess we could play it one way or the other.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Is that just worded poorly or is it really not coming to NA?

Yeah; that's what I thought too. Why not NA too? I mean, I'm in the UK so it doesn't affect me, but that's an odd decision.

Also, I may pick up Heavy Rain again for the right price, but I didn't really like Beyond.

 

[boredandlazy]

Is that just worded poorly or is it really not coming to NA?

Well there's a 2 game physical bundle, so if that's the case then importing is always an option.

 

[TheDanger]

might as well play them now

That would be beyond dumb if it didn't. Even so the PS4 is region free? So I guess we could play it one way or the other.

lol

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I haven't played either so win win.

 

[Phoenix944]

Meh, who need backward compatibility ?

Spoiler

*deep cry*

 

[BluenoseGames]

I would've been disappointed if it was just Beyond Two Souls but this is great.

 

[The_Monk]

I had a good time with Heavy Rain since I loved the dark and constant rainy mood in the game. It was a nice fit to play later on in the Winter.

I never had the chance to play Beyond so I will play it now. I'm my opinion these games are also interesting to play with someone who may not be a gamer at all. Your wife/girlfriend for instance, making choices together, working to solve things, and making the right questions.

 

[rockman zx]

Awesome, when?, how much?.

 

[Vaga]

You can always import or create an EU account.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Told ya so...

Has it been discussed before, there's a Heavy Rain/Beyond Two Souls PS4 collection coming...

Is there any decent source/insider to back this?

 

[mrpookles]

Fan of both... but, I'm not sure that I need to play either of them again.

 

[TheDanger]

If its a digital release as well why is this EU only? Also...no mention of the word "remaster"? Is this a straight port?

Would be quite lazy if it isn't 1080p

 

[MikeE21286]

Need to put for PAL and Europe only in the title :/

 

[m@cross]

Would be surprised to see this not come to NA. Both are great games, but not sure it is worth the double dip after playing them both on PS3.

 

[ShalashaskaEx]

I guess I'm in the minority in that I really liked Heavy Rain but didn't care for Beyond at all. I'll play both again, though, if this makes it to the US.

Edit: Or maybe I'm not in the minority lol

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Didn't play either. Only played demos of both.

Wonder if it's just a port though.

 

[Replicant]

OMGOMG! This is megaton for me. Well, Heavy Rain is. I'm not too fond of Beyond.

 

[Pachimari]

Buying the physical bundle.
