Lunar Remastered Collection Release Date Announced

The highly anticipated Lunar Remastered Collection is set to launch on April 18th, bringing the classic JRPG duology to modern platforms. Developed by Game Arts and published by GungHo Online Entertainment, the collection will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S compatibility).

This remaster boasts updated visuals, a re-recorded soundtrack, and numerous quality-of-life improvements. Features include fully voiced dialogue in Japanese and English, with added French and German subtitles. A classic mode allows players to experience the games with their original PS1-era graphics, while a speed-up command and auto-battle options streamline combat.

The collection was initially announced during a 2024 Sony State of Play, surprising and delighting fans of the original Sega CD and PlayStation titles. Physical copies will be available in select North American and European stores. The inclusion of widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, and high-definition cutscenes further enhances the experience.

This release continues the trend of beloved JRPGs receiving modern remasters. While the collection's financial success remains to be seen, the previous success of the Grandia HD Collection, a collaboration between the same developers and publisher, suggests a positive outlook.
