A new Ape Escape video game is reportedly in the works, helmed by the team that successfully rebooted a certain blue hedgehog with Sonic Mania. Developer Evening Star also made Penny’s Big Breakaway, which launched to mixed reviews compared to Sonic Mania’s near unanimous praise.
The report comes from journalist Jeff Gerstmann, corroborated by VGC sources. “So yeah, some other folks have said that they also heard that Ape Escape is being made,” Gerstmann said on his podcast.
“I don’t think this game is close to being out or anything like that, but I guess it’s been almost a year since we started talking about Ape Escape. “Who is making it? That’s a good question.
“My understanding is that it’s an external studio. People were immediately like, ‘Oh, Team Asobi (Astro Bot) is making it.’ My understanding is that an external team has been working on that. What do they make… Penny’s Big Breakaway. Evening Star. I heard that they were working on it.”
According to the report, Sony is looking at using third-party studios to revive dormant series across its entire portfolio. Last month, rumors were circulating that PlayStation is looking to bring back Killzone, though
