For anyone who grew up with the franchise or discovered it later through modern ports and streaming runs, this project looks to bridge generations.

As platform lines continue to blur and cross-gen expectations shift, bringing a major legacy franchise to this breadth of hardware on day one makes strategic sense for a community that plays everywhere.
