Blue Reflection Quartet Brings Four-Game Collection to PS5

The release preserves the franchise by turning the anime into a playable exploration mode, recreating the mobile story for offline play, plus updating older entries with remasters and quality-of-life improvements.

Overview

  • The collection packages four Blue Reflection entries into a single PS5 release that also appears on listings for Switch and PC.
  • Blue Reflection Ray adapts the anime as a non-combat, exploration-driven playable retelling that uses cutscenes and collectible memory fragments to convey the story.
  • Blue Reflection Sun recreates the original mobile game's story offline, streamlines progression into 24 events, and uses Second Light’s combat system for battles.
  • The original Blue Reflection is included as a remaster with autosave, faster movement, updated character models and textures, though critics note it still feels dated.
  • Blue Reflection: Second Light is the collection's standout and gains eight extra characters from Ray and Sun plus battle-speed and fast-forward options, earning generally positive reviews and solid scores from critics.
