Highlights

  • Rumors suggest Sony may release a new PaRappa the Rapper game for PS5, with Playboi Carti as the main voice.

  • PaRappa the Rapper is not the only classic PlayStation game potentially making a comeback, with Fear Effect and Patapon also rumored.

Sony could be planning a new PaRappa the Rapper game for the PlayStation 5, according to a new rumor. PaRappa the Rapper is a classic PlayStation game that became popular in the 90s, but it has been largely forgotten by Sony in recent years.

PaRappa the Rapper was originally released in 1996 for the PS1. The game stood out due to being an excellent rhythm game for the PS1 at a time when the genre was not very common, and partly because of its charismatic main character, the rapper dog PaRappa. The series received a spin-off called Um Jammer Lammy in 1999, and a sequel for the PS2 in 2001. However, more games were never released after that, and PaRappa only appeared in ports or had special participation in titles such as PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Astro’s Playroom.

Sony Could Be Planning To Release a New PaRappa the Rapper Game For PS5

If these rumors are confirmed, PaRappa the Rapper is not the only PS1 franchise to be making a comeback recently. Last month, it was announced that Fear Effect would be released for modern consoles. Unlike the rumored PaRappa the Rapper game, Fear Effect will be a remaster, not a new game, and it’s set to be released by Limited Run Games for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.Close

Another classic PlayStation game that could be making a comeback soon is Patapon. Originally released for the PSP in 2007, Patapon is a game in which the player acts as an invisible deity for small creatures called Patapons, and it was a commercial success. The rumors of the new project started after Sony showcased some brief snippets of a Patapon project back in January as part of unveiling its new visualization facility Torchlight during CES 2024. At the moment, however, the game is not confirmed to be in development.
