Psychonauts is getting a new release – as a PS2 Classic download on the PS3! That’s right, Double Fine’s most famous game (and most requested game sequel) will be hitting Sony’s monolith on August 28th. Before you shoot someone for PS cash, note this is not a HD remake and as far as I know, there will be no trophy support. It is however Psychonauts for anyone that hasn’t played it or want to replay and can’t thanks to the removal of backwards compatibility. We also haven’t heard the price but hopefully it won’t be more than $9.99.

The 28th is a great day for fans of PS2 treasures. Besides the awesome sauce that is Psychonauts, we also get the excellent Ratchet and Clank trilogy in a remastered HD collection! The good news is that release will have trophies and Up Your Arsenal’s multiplayer component will be up and running. Double nostalgia score!

Thanks to the tweet from Tim Schafer clueing us in and if you need more info you can hit up the PlayStation Blog. Just make sure you wipe away those tears of joy before you head out later! Think this might finally push through the sequel to Psychonauts? Fingers crossed geeks!
