Yes, believe it or not there are still titles being released for the PlayStation 2 due to its overwhelming install base. Annual sports titles have slowly trickled down ports of the console that's soon to be two generations old, and the last one will be released this September.
EA Sports will release a port of FIFA 14 for the PS2, and that will finally be it. The publisher has been famous for releasing some copied ports of the same game, especially in the FIFA franchise, and who knows if this one's just been copying the same damn game since 2006.
Still, for those that love their soccer and don't have the money to upgrade, or just love nostalgia, or decided to wait until the PlayStation 4, here there game awaits.
Officially the console has been discontinued as of January (Sony finally had the heart to let go). According to Coin Arcade, Japan's final game was a Final Fantasy XI expansion released back in March, and this FIFA port will be America's last.
N4G which carried a link to the story had one of the best comments regarding the PS2's long existence.
Wow the PS2 is as old as my marriage...Arrivederci, PS2.
...at one point my PS2 was better than my marriage...
...happy to say that as the PS2 dies, my marriage is still alive...
...however the PS2 helped me get through the very tough times of my marriage.
Take care big guy and thanks!
