Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Coming To PS4
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is already available on Xbox 360, Vita, and PC, but soon developer 5pb is bringing an enhanced version of this brawler to PS4.
The original version of this under-the-radar game is surprisingly good, but the PS4 version promises to be even better. Under the new name Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive, the retro-inspired title offers tweaks like new skills, more enemies, alternate routes, and extra items. To see some of these enhancements in action, check out the trailer below.
The game will cost $15, and releases sometime this summer.

Our Take
I love games like River City Ransom, Castle Crashers, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World, so this makes me happy. I always meant to play this on 360, but never got around to it. Hopefully the PS4 release will give me (and similarly minded gamers) a reason to dive in and cause some chaos. I only wish that the release date were more concrete.
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.
