The classic PlayStation 2 title Star Wars: The Clone Wars could be coming to PS4 and PS5 sometime later this year, at least according to a new rumor. Many of the older Star Wars games have been rereleased on newer PlayStation hardware, either as standalone purchases on the PlayStation Store or as part of the PlayStation Plus subscription service.

One Star Wars game that hasn’t yet been re-released on newer systems is Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a 2002 shooter that came out shortly after Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. Not to be confused with the hit animated series of the same name, Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place during the titular conflict, with the first of its 16 levels recreating the Battle of Geonosis. From there, players could pilot classic Star Wars vehicles and control legendary Jedi Knights as they fight to stop the Separatist army from unleashing an ancient Sith weapon on the Republic.
