Trophy lists have appeared online for Coded Soul and Killzone Liberation.
As revealed by Gematsu on Twitter, there are trophy lists for both games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. While we can’t rule out the possibility of a full remaster, it’s most likely that these are basic rereleases as PlayStation Portable Classics.
You may know about Killzone Liberation if you watch YouTuber ETAPrime, or if you owned the real game all the way back in the 2000s. On the PlayStation Portable, Guerrilla Games opted to switch genres from a first person or third person shooter, to a top down isometric view action game.
This game is set between the events of the original Killzone, on the PlayStation 2, and Killzone Mercenary, on the PlayStation Vita.
Killzone Liberation has you playing Jan Templar, following your success in defeating the Helghast. The faction is on the ropes but remains dangerous. In fact, they have a traitor embedded in the ISA, and Jan’s missions revolve around discovering there is a traitor and looking for them.
Killzone Liberation came with DLC, one of which adds a proper ending to the game. Sony once removed access to the DLC on their store, but it will probably be complete for this release.
Coded Soul: Uketsugareshi Idea is a more interesting release because it was originally a Japan only release and was never localized for English speaking regions.
This game was co-produced by Japanese studio Gaia. Gara was founded by Kouji Okada, who is also known as the architect of the Megami Tensei franchise, including Devil Summoner, and most importantly, Persona.
Coded Soul was also released a year after Okada’s other Sony exclusive RPG, Folklore. Like Folklore and the Megami Tensei games, Coded Soul revolves around monster collection, with a decent 100 monsters to fight and collect to accompany you. You can also teach the monsters new skills, as well as combine weapons and items to build more powerful weapons.
Unique to Coded Soul, at least for the time, is that the game has random generated dungeons, and a time limit for staying in the game world. RPG fans are definitely getting something of a lost gem with this release.
So either Sony has a secret English localization for Coded Soul that they opted not to release in the 2000s and are bringing back now, or the studio went out of their way to commission a new localization. Fans are going to want to confirm this when this game releases.
