  • The studio says it rebuilt the game with improved textures, an enhanced UI, upgraded cutscenes and 4K visuals, and added a Photo Mode and a Cheats menu.
  • New multiplayer support includes up to four-player local and online co-op and the ability to swap between the game's four playable characters during play.
  • The remaster retails for $29.99 with a digital preorder discount to $26.99, and reporting notes the new version appears to be based on the original PS2/console build rather than the distinct 2004 PC edition.
