Key Features:
- Release Date: April 18th, 2024 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S compatibility included. Physical copies will be available in select North American and European stores.
- Visual & Audio Enhancements: Experience remastered visuals, including updated pixel art, high-definition cutscenes, and widescreen support.

This remaster follows the success of the Grandia HD Collection, also a collaboration between Game Arts and GungHo Online Entertainment. The collection includes several modern conveniences now standard in JRPG remasters, such as combat speed-up features (similar to those found in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and the upcoming Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster).
Will the Lunar Remastered Collection achieve commercial success? Time will tell, but the positive reception of previous collaborations suggests a promising outlook for this nostalgic JRPG revival. Get ready to revisit or discover these beloved classics!
