Here are some additional details, via PlayStation Blog:

Originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2000, Fantavision is a puzzle game based on the theme of fireworks. The game returns in an all-new title for PlayStation VR2 powered by the Unreal Engine. The game is an artistic combination of action, shooting, strategy, and puzzles. The PlayStation VR2 headset and PlayStation VR2 Sense controller provides an immersive experience for you to fill the star-studded sky with sparkling fireworks. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, it won't take long for you to master the controls.
The basic goal of the game is to catch at least three fireworks of the same color and shoot them into the night sky. You can also catch fireworks of different colors at the same time by using Wild Fireworks and shoot them with Daisy Chain, which combines multiple colors, and collect items to start the bonus mode Starmine. In PlayStation VR2, you catch fireworks by aiming at them and pulling the trigger, and shoot them with the Circle button.
In addition to the single-player mode, a replay mode is also available. You can change the camera's viewpoint for incredible replays, stop time to enjoy the show, add different effects, and more. You can also experience the vibrations of the fireworks through haptic feedback, so you can fully absorb the breathtaking fireworks display.

Well this is pretty weird. I guess I'll see what people think of it when it comes out. I was never a big Fantavision fan or anything.

Nothing against it but the only memory I really have about it is from before the PS2 came out, when I was desperately hyped for it and not sure if I could get one. The store demo kiosks would sometimes have this game running and I'd be pissed because I wanted to see a cool next-gen game lol

Fantavison. That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Fond memories of playing it shortly after having my wisdom teeth removed. I was high AF and it was mind blowing.

Sweet! I'm one of those weirdos that highly enjoyed the original.
