Lunar: Remastered Collection Gets Official Release Date

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, this 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 for nostalgic players; and enhanced gameplay mechanics such as faster combat and auto-battle options. These additions, now common in remasters of older JRPGs, aim to modernize the experience without sacrificing the charm of the originals.

Physical copies will be available in select North American and European stores. The collection includes widescreen support, revamped pixel art, and high-definition cutscenes. The inclusion of a classic mode allows players to toggle between the updated visuals and the original PS1-era graphics.

The Lunar series joins a growing trend of beloved JRPGs receiving modern remasters. While the collection's commercial success remains to be seen, the prior success of the Grandia HD Collection (a collaboration between the same developers and publishers) suggests a positive outlook.
