Bloodborne Dev's PS1 Game Shadow Tower Headed to PSN

Although its name has become synonymous with the Demon's/Dark Souls series and, more recently, Bloodborne, From Software has been making games since the 1990s--and one of those games, Shadow Tower, is headed to the PlayStation Store.

As revealed at the 15:12 mark of the latest PlayStation Blogcast, Shadow Tower will be released on PSN next week as a PS1 Classic, making it playable on Sony's handhelds and PlayStation 3, but not PlayStation 4.

The first-person action-RPG was released in 1998 in Japan and a year later in North America, by which time its graphics were quite dated. The game plays similarly to the company's earlier King's Field games and would later receive a Japan-only sequel, Shadow Tower Abyss.

PS1 Classics on PSN are typically sold for $6, though occasionally some--like Suikoden II--go for $10. A price for Shadow Tower wasn't announced, but with the PlayStation Store's weekly update coming on Tuesday, we don't have long to wait to find out.

From Software's latest game, Bloodborne, debuted earlier this week on PS4.
