Earthion Deluxe Edition

Yuzo Koshiro and Ancient Corp built Earthion's soundtrack on real Genesis sound hardware. Let that sink in. The Earthion Deluxe Edition for PlayStation 5 packages that love letter to 16-bit shoot 'em ups with the kind of physical extras collectors actually want on their shelves.

Eight stages of precision shmup gameplay put you behind the controls of the YK-IIA, dodging bullet patterns and clearing screens of beautifully animated pixel art enemies. It's authentic retro design running on modern hardware, and it plays as good as it looks.

This Deluxe Edition comes in a special collector's box with a double-sided poster, sticker sheet, original soundtrack CD, and an enamel keychain. The booklet rounds things out with the care you'd expect from a team led by one of gaming's most respected composers.

If your PS5 shelf has room for a shmup that wears its heritage on its sleeve, Earthion's Deluxe Edition is the real deal. Physical media, physical extras, and a game made by people who've been doing this since the Mega Drive days.
