Many of the games from 2003 simply have been forgotten about over time though. This includes Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy from developer Eurocom and publisher THQ, both of which have since closed, though the latter was reborn as THQ Nordic. Those that do remember this GameCube, Xbox, and PS2 classic will be happy to know they can finally revisit it on modern hardware. And that’s because this week a remaster was released on the PS4. A native PS5 version has not been released, but it is playable on PS5 via PS4 backward compatibility.
“Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an original third-person action adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt,” reads an official description of the game for those interested. “Traveling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set. Sphinx’s Journey will require all his wits, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world.”
Right now, the remaster of the 2003 classic is only available on PS4, but it is set to also come to Xbox One on April 15. Beyond this, no other platforms have been announced.
As for what has been remastered, it is unclear. The aforementioned THQ Nordic has not outlined this information. That said, those interested in finding out can do so for $14.99
