PSP game Resistance: Retribution has been rated for PS4 and PS5

The 2009 PSP game Resistance: Retribution has been rated in South Korea, suggesting it may be coming to the PlayStation Plus retro catalogue.

As spotted by Gematsu, the game received ratings for both the PS4 and PS5, meaning a re-release is likely on the way.

Retribution was the third game in the Resistance series, released between Resistance 2 and 3 on PlayStation 3.

The handheld spin-off has players controlling a British marine called James Grayson, who’s on a mission to destroy as many Chimera ‘conversion centers’ as he can following an incident in which he had to kill his own brother to prevent him being turned into a monster.

The game was well received by critics and currently has an average score of 81 on Metacritic.

One of Retribution’s main selling points was its variety of online multiplayer modes, but Sony disabled the multiplayer servers in 2015. It’s not clear if multiplayer will be enabled again when the game is added to PlayStation Plus.

The new PlayStation Plus service, which includes three membership tiers (Essential, Extra and Premium), is expected to launch in Japan on June 2, North and South America on June 13, and Australia, New Zealand, and Europe on June 23.
