Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Syphon Filter series holds a special place in PlayStation history. The first game made its debut on PlayStation in the US on February 16, 1999, followed by its release in Europe 5 months later. Often compared to Metal Gear Solid, it offered a truly cinematic spy action experience. While the series is currently inactive, its inclusion in PlayStation Plus Premium suggests that Sony may have plans to revive this beloved franchise.
Official sales figures for the Syphon Filter series have not been disclosed. However, it is known that 900,000 copies of the first game were distributed in the US alone. With six games in the series, it is likely that the total number of copies sold is in the millions. The potential revival of the character Logan remains uncertain, but many fans are hopeful for its return.
Bend Studio took to Twitter to commemorate the occasion:
Happy 25th, Syphon Filter! Gabe Logan’s first mission debuted on PlayStation in 1999, laying the groundwork for the Syphon Filter legacy. Thank you for the memories.
