15 Things We Learned At The PlayStation Experience 2016

8. Knack 2 Is (Somehow) Happening

The Last Of Us Part 2

Genuinely one of the most surprising reveals at PSX this year was the bombshell that somehow, some way, Knack 2 is actually happening.

Despite the PS4 launch title platformer releasing to a mediocre 54 Metascore and sales that went largely unreported (usually meaning bad), writer-director and PlayStation 4 architect Mark Cerny somehow convinced Sony to roll the dice on a follow-up, this time mounted as a co-op platformer.

Perhaps this is Cerny's reward for helping lead the PS4 to such an impressive commercial performance thus far, and to be honest, as someone who actually bothered to play the game, it's really not that bad at all. Pretty good at times, even.

Still, the Internet couldn't help themselves but ridicule the decision on social media. Still, unless something goes horribly wrong, it should be an improvement, right?
