Konami’s cult mech classic Zone of the Enders 2 goes VR and 4K on September 4

With one of the games industry’s best catalogs of memorable IPs, Japanese developer Konami picked the cult classic Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner — Mars to bring into VR and 4K. Today, the futuristic mech game officially received a U.S. release date of September 4, as well as a list of VR-specific enhancements that may help the 2003 title reach a larger audience on PlayStation 4 consoles and PCs.

Produced by Hideo Kojima, Zone of the Enders was a short-lived Konami franchise focused on mech battles and dramatic storylines. When you’re not watching cinematic cutscenes, you’re slashing and shooting enemies using a flying “Frame” called Jehuty — action elements that were enhanced in the sequel. Both of the mainline Zone of the Enders games were designed to show off the capabilities of the PlayStation 2.
