We heard rumors about more games from the Jak and Daxter series making their way to PlayStation 4, and now that has been confirmed. Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that Jak II, Jak 3 and Jak X: Combat Racing will be coming to PlayStation 4 on December 6th.
As for what’s new and improved with these releases, each game will feature 1080p up-rending and trophy support. They will also support new features like Shareplay, Remote Play, Activity Feeds and Second Screen support for game manuals with PS Vita or the PlayStation App.
The following is an overview of each game:
Jak II
“Jak is back in another action-packed adventure, but he’s not the same. Experiments with Dark Eco have gone wrong, leaving Jak with an uncontrollable dark side. Accompanied by your trusty friend Daxter, unleash the dark powers on multiple enemies and witness amazing transformations. Armed with powerful weapons, a high-tech jetboard, an impenetrable mech suit, and a number of vehicles at your disposal, you have no excuse for failure.”
Jak 3
“Jak and his faithful companion Daxter are thrust in the middle of an unforgiving Wasteland where survival of the fittest takes on new meaning. With potent weapons, armor, and vehicles, Jak also discovers that there is an emerging power inside him – the ability to balance Dark Jak and Light Jak. Questions about the mysterious Precursors, the mythical Mar, the fate of the world and the enigmatic Jak himself will be answered, as this most exciting adventure unfolds.”
Jak X: Combat Racing
“After a mysterious invite brings Jak and Daxter to Kras City, they discover that they have been poisoned by the sinister Krew. Krew proceeds to give the duo an ultimatum – race for him in the next Kras City Grand Championship and receive the poison antidote. Jak and his friends must now race for their lives in the biggest combat racing on the planet – against the best drivers in the world!”
The first game in the series, Jak and Daxter, is already available on PlayStation 4. The release of the remaining installments in the series will be accompanied by a Legacy Dashboard theme for PlayStation 4 that can be downloaded for $2.99. It essentially mimics the aesthetic of the PlayStation 2 dashboard, which will definitely be a nostalgic treat for long-time gamers.
