Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is a platform game developed by High Impact Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was announced on April 1, 2009 by PlayStation Blog. It was released on November 3, 2009 for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. The player assumes the role of Jak, the angst-ridden hero enhanced by his exposure to Light and Dark eco. The game received a generally positive response, with critics praising the game's graphics, gameplay and aerial fights.
Similar to other games in the series, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier features a Hero Mode where players are able to replay the game. Weapons, armor, powers, secrets, and unspent Precursor orbs are retained through each playthrough.
The game begins with Jak and Daxter, escorting Keira on her journey to become a Sage and help to find the reason for a worldwide Eco shortage. After an encounter with Captain Phoenix, an Eco-seeking Sky Pirate, Jak crash-lands on an island at the Brink (the edge of their world) and sets off in search of Eco with which to repair his Hellcat. After a successful take-off, Jak must fight off Sky Pirates attacking the ACS Behemoth, an aerial warship captained by Duke Skyheed of Aeropa. Jak is given an instrument called the Eco Seeker. He is unable to power it because the excess Dark Eco in the area prevents him from using his own Eco powers (in addition, the Eco instability prevents him from turning into Dark Jak), but Keira is granted permission to study it for a week if Jak proves himself in a test of his fighting skills. Daxter falls into the sewers of Aeropa on the way back, where he becomes tainted further by Dark Eco and is temporarily transformed into "Dark Daxter".
Then, Captain Phoenix attacks the building and steals both the Eco Seeker and Keira. Jak and Daxter chase Phoenix but are led into a trap, resulting in them crash-landing back on the Island again. On the Island the duo meet a Castaway, who knows that Jak has been touched by Dark Eco but can't remember who he was or why he was on the island. He also offers to fix Jak's Hellcat, and later sneaks on board. When Jak and Daxter take off they manage to disable Phoenix's ship and land. On board Jak and Phoenix argue and tip the Eco Seeker overboard accidentally, so both return to the island once more to retrieve it from a volcanic crater. The Eco Seeker needs more Light Eco to work and they travel to an old research rig used by the Aeropans. At the rig, Jak comes across a testing table. He realizes from the memory of his own experience with it in Jak II that someone has been experimenting with Dark Eco.
