As previously teased, we’ve learned from the latest Famitsu (via Hachima) that Kadokawa Games have announced remakes for both Langrisser and Langrisser II.
Both games are getting complete remakes for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, and are currently 50% complete. A release date wasn’t confirmed, unfortunately. From the sounds of it, both remakes will be packaged together.
While details are scant, the tactical strategy games are being entirely remade from their mechanics to visuals, with a focus on making them easier to get into. Character designs are entirely new, all dialogue scenarios are fully voiced, and there’s lots of new features like battle cut-ins, UI overhauling, and more.
A proper reveal for both games will be coming on August 29th.
