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:

• Release Date: April 18th, 2024 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S compatibility included. Physical copies available in select North American and European stores.
• Enhanced Visuals & Audio: Expect updated graphics, including widescreen support and renovated pixel art, alongside a re-recorded soundtrack and high-definition cutscenes. A classic mode faithfully recreates the original PS1-era visuals for purists.
• Modernized Gameplay: Fully voiced dialogue in Japanese and English, plus new French and German subtitles. Quality-of-life improvements such as faster combat and auto-battle options are also included.
• Content: The collection includes both Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar: Eternal Blue, offering a complete experience for both new and returning fans.

The announcement, made during a 2024 Sony State of Play, delighted long-time fans of this beloved JRPG series, originally released for the Sega CD in 1992 and 1994. This remaster follows a successful trend of bringing classic JRPGs to modern platforms, suggesting a positive outlook for the collection's reception. The inclusion of features like speed-up combat and auto-battle, common in modern remasters of older JRPGs (like Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the upcoming Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster), aims to enhance the experience for contemporary players while preserving the charm of the originals. While financial success remains to be seen, the collaboration between Game Arts and GungHo Online Entertainment – previously successful with the Grandia HD Collection – bodes well for the Lunar Remastered Collection.
