From the developer's website (https://lillymogames.com/lillymo-games-inc/f/habroxia-2-ps5-edition):
Hello!
We’re pleased to reveal that our game Habroxia 2, which launched on PlayStation 4, Vita, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in 2021, will be receiving a native PlayStation 5 port. It’s set to launch imminently, on April 28th, and it’ll cost $9.99 USD.
For the uninitiated, Habroxia 2 is the sequel to our second game, Habroxia, and tells the story of a talented starpilot named Sabrina, as she undertakes a daring mission to find her missing father. We are an old-school-inspired company, and naturally, our products reflect that. Habroxia 2 is a pixel-art 2D arcade shooter with boss battles, branching paths, secrets to discover, story and lore, upgrades to purchase, and even New Game+. We’re incredibly proud of it -- we’ve sold more than 15,000 copies -- and we’re thrilled to finally bring it to PlayStation 5. (It’s taken longer than we would have thought, we admit.)
The PlayStation 5 version will be free to anyone who already owns the PlayStation 4 iteration (this obviously goes in the other direction as well), and, as our trailer suggests, there are some tweaks and upgrades included, including use of the ever-wonderful DualSense controller. Truth be told, our game doesn’t exactly require the SSD, horsepower, or graphical capabilities of PlayStation 5. So I’m not gonna sit here and blow smoke up your ass about it running in 4K120 or something. There is, however, another change I wanted to highlight: Trophies.
Barry and I are obsessed with Trophies. We’re both true believers in and participants of the metagame, and we’re sad by how many developers mistreat Trophy fans and don’t give them a second thought. In this age of 30 minute Platinums, auto-popping through cross-save, and more, we wanted to do something totally different, something that’s basically the complete opposite, actually. Auto-popping Trophies and playing games for easy earning is lame. To that, we say no.
Instead, the PlayStation 5 version of Habroxia 2 comes with a tough-as-nails Trophy list that Barry has earned on debug, but that I’m not even sure I can actually do. The reason we’re comfortable doing this is simple: The PS4 and PS5 iterations are virtually indistinguishable, you get both for the price of one, and you can play the PS4 version on PS5 if you want the easier Trophies. But for those of you who want to really, really, really earn your Trophies? Well… gird your loins, because Habroxia 2 is going to kick your ass. (Of course, if Trophies are irrelevant to you, as they are to many, then you will find our wonderful shooter on another wonderful console. It’s that simple.) As far as we know, we’re the first developer to ever attempt this approach with Trophies, and we hope you like what we’ve come up with.
Will there be a Habroxia 3? Maybe one day. In the meantime, we’re so pleased by the continued love Habroxia 2 receives, and we hope you enjoy playing it on PS5. And hey: Don’t forget about Super Perils of Baking, our new side-scroller coming to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC on June 3rd!
Thank you for your support. -Colin
