The highly anticipated Lunar Remastered Collection arrives April 18th! This remastered duology, developed by Game Arts and published by GungHo Online Entertainment, brings the classic Lunar titles to modern consoles and PC.
Key Features:
- Launch Date: April 18th, 2024 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S compatibility). Physical copies will be available in select North American and European stores.
- Enhanced Experience: Enjoy updated graphics, a re-recorded soundtrack, fully voiced dialogue (Japanese and English), and new French and German subtitles.
- Classic Mode: Nostalgia buffs can switch to a classic mode replicating the original PS1-era visuals.
- Quality-of-Life Improvements: Experience faster combat via a speed-up command and streamlined auto-battle options.
The collection includes both Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar: Eternal Blue, updated for modern players while retaining the charm of the originals. The addition of widescreen support, refined pixel art, and high-definition cutscenes enhances the visual experience. The inclusion of modern conveniences like accelerated combat, a staple in recent JRPG remasters (similar to Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the upcoming Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster), ensures a smooth and engaging gameplay experience.
This release continues the trend of beloved JRPGs receiving modern updates, following the successful Grandia HD Collection collaboration between Game Arts and GungHo Online Entertainment. While the commercial success remains to be seen, the positive reception of past collaborations suggests a promising future for this cherished franchise.
