Rumor: PaRappa The Rapper Is Coming Back
An application to the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee from Sony Interactive Entertainment Korea has the rumor mill buzzing about the possibility of a new PaRappa The Rapper title or a revamp of something from the past.
Submitted on December 2, the application could be syncing up with a big reveal at PSX tomorrow, or on PaRappa's 20-year anniversary on December 6. While nothing is confirmed, it would make a lot of sense to see the dancing dog shine at the annual event packed with reveals and announcements. The original PaRappa did see one re-release already on PSP in 2007.
If it exists, will it be a new title? How about a polished reboot?

Our Take
This would be an interesting brand to bring back into the spotlight today. I'm actually hoping for a new game instead of a remake, but we'll see what happens.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
