Publisher TAITO and developer M2 have announced Ray’z Arcade Chronology is getting a PC port.

The classic shoot ’em up collection is coming to Windows PC (via Steam) sometime this fall, and will support both Japanese and English languages.

Ray’z Arcade Chronology was originally released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 back in March 2022 for Japan and in June 2023 for the west.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Ray’z Arcade Chronology, collects the entire acclaimed ‘Ray’ series of 90s arcade-classic, vertically scrolling shooting games, along with enhanced HD versions of the two 3D titles, into a single, definitive collection!

Title lineup

• RayForce
• RayStorm
• RayStorm neo-HD
• RayCrisis
• RayCrisis HD

The series is known for its lock-on laser, an elegant combination of style and substance, allowing the player to simultaneously shoot down multiple enemies with a single button, nullifying threats preemptively.

Tamayo’s timelessly beautiful, scene-setting musical scores, and the series’ immersive storytelling and world-building, depicted through gameplay alone are a winning combination which has led to high acclaim from players everywhere, leading to a series with as much popularity as Taito’s other flagship shooting series: Darius.

This collection provides faithful ports of the arcade version of each game, adding more soundtracks, gadgets, quality of life features, and more!
