Kowloon’s Gate is an adventure title that was released on the Playstation in Japan about 20 years ago by Sony Music Entertainment. Recently, a new “Kowloon’s Gate” VR title was recently crowdfunded (for the amount of 3 million yen in 15 hours) successfully by the public at CAMPFIRE, and thus this title is now confirmed for a PSVR release! This title is scheduled for release on May 2017 in Japan, which will marks the 20th anniversary of the original title. It will be developed by Jetman.

As of now, the funding amount is still increasing. As of this writing, the amount raised has reached 7,797,755 yen (which is almost 7.8 million yen), which is more than twice the target.

It was determined that the two parallel worlds has to be separated as soon as possible, or there will be severe consequences.
