Set some time aside in April, because GungHohas announcedthat theLunar Remastered Collectionwill arrive on August 08, 2025 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
I feel like we keep gettingLunarre-releases, but I looked it up and the last one was actually in 2010 for the PSP. Or 2012 if you count mobile. Still, it’s seen a lot of second chances for a game that original released on Sega CD back in 1992.
Lunar Remastered CollectioncombinesLunar: The Silver StarandLunar 2: Eternal Blue, or rather, the PS1 version of those. And while it’s titled “remastered” it largely has the same graphics as those releases with some added effects. It’s still 2D and pixelated, which is fine (or even preferred) by me, but doesn’t feel like it earns the title. Unless you count that gross depth-of-field effect they put on the top and bottom of the screen. I guess the cutscenes seem to be remastered, so it counts. Whatever, I’m not the remaster police.
It looks like you can turn off the gross depth-of-field effects, or, at the very least, play it in classic mode. This might also mean you lose the widescreen mode, but maybe you can tweak things. Either way, you’ll have the same classic games in a new package, so that’s worth a lot.
There will also be a physical version available for $54.99 USD. They will notably feature “reversible covers showcasing two new key arts forLUNAR: Silver Star Story CompleteandLunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, both illustrated exclusively for theLunar Remastered Collectionby Toshiyuki Kubooka.”
Lunar Remastered Collectionlaunches on July 28, 2025, for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
