Lunar Remastered Collection Release Date Announced

Summary

  • The Lunar Remastered Collection launches April 18th on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S compatibility.
  • The collection boasts fully voiced dialogue, a classic mode, and enhanced gameplay features like faster combat and auto-battle.

The Lunar Remastered Collection, developed by Game Arts and published by GungHo Online Entertainment, arrives April 18th. This highly anticipated duology brings the first two Lunar games to modern consoles and PC (via Steam), featuring updated graphics, a re-recorded soundtrack, and numerous quality-of-life improvements.

Initially announced during a 2024 Sony State of Play, the remaster surprised and delighted many JRPG fans. The original Lunar: The Silver Star debuted in 1992 for the Sega CD, followed by Lunar: Eternal Blue in 1994. Both received PlayStation and Sega Saturn remakes. Even today, the Lunar series is celebrated, making this remastered collection a highly anticipated release.

GungHo Online Entertainment confirmed the April 18th launch date for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, with compatibility for current-gen consoles. Physical copies will be available in select North American and European stores. The remaster includes widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, and high-definition cutscenes. However, a classic mode faithfully recreates the original PS1-era visuals for nostalgic players.

  • April 18th for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC; compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

The Lunar Remastered Collection also features fully voiced dialogue in Japanese and English, with added French and German subtitles. Gameplay enhancements include faster combat and streamlined auto-battle options. These quality-of-life improvements, now common in JRPG remasters (like Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the upcoming Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster), significantly enhance the playing experience.

The Lunar remaster continues the trend of beloved classic JRPGs finding new life on modern platforms. While the collection's financial success remains to be seen, the positive reception of the Grandia HD Collection—a previous collaboration between Game Arts and GungHo Online Entertainment—suggests a promising future for this nostalgic adventure.
