PlayStation 2 classic set to return after 24 years

The news might be slightly disappointing to several subscribers

A game that originally released in 2000 as a launch title for the PlayStation 2 is now available on the PlayStation Plus subscription service as part of the Classics collection.

Summoner was originally released in 2000 as a launch title for the PS2, and was developed by Volition (who you may know as the studio behind Saints Row and Red Faction, who sadly closed down last year). The reason that the addition of this title in particular might be disappointing is due to the fact that the game is currently available on multiple PC platforms, and there's a lot of titles that are orphaned on the PlayStation 2 system that could have been brought over to more modern platforms that would have been preferred by fans. A sequel to the title released in 2002, though this isn't available on modern platforms.

ICYMI: Borderlands 3 is now available on PS Plus.

"Summoners have toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated as saviours and feared as destroyers. With rings crafted by the ancient Khosani, the gifted can call forth demons, dragons, and elementals, but only the strongest can control the forces they unleash. Born with the mark of the Summoner, Joseph possesses a power greater than emperors and gods. As a child, he summoned a demon to save his village, and watched in horror as those he loved were destroyed. Nine years later, the armies of Orenia invade, and Joseph must confront the prophecy he was born to fulfil," the official description for the game reads.

Other additions to PlayStation Plus this month include, among several others:

  • Job Simulator
  • Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
  • Jeanne d'Arc
  • Remnant 2
  • Crisis Core - Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion
  • The Jackbox Party Pack 9
  • Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes: Complete Edition

Those titles will be available to download from 16 July.
