Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced Release Date Set for July 2025 on Switch and PS5

Inti Creates has officially revealed the release date for Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced, the much-anticipated definitive collection of the acclaimed 2D action platformer series.

The enhanced trilogy will be available on July 24, 2025, launching digitally on both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.

Priced at $39.99, the set delivers all three mainline Gunvolt games—Azure Striker Gunvolt (2014), Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (2016), and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 (2022)—bundled with all previously released downloadable content (DLC) and new exclusive features. Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced serves as an all-in-one experience for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

In addition to collecting the full trilogy, this release incorporates fresh gameplay revisions led by the series’ director, newly recorded character voices and songs, and story content previously exclusive to Japanese audiences, now fully localized.

The trilogy is particularly notable for its engaging storylines, real-time character dialogue during missions, and a rich musical library with over 37 vocal tracks performed by in-game characters. "This is the definitive way to play the entire Gunvolt series," an official statement from Inti Creates explains, highlighting the new content and enhanced features unique to this release. Each title in the collection offers its own distinctive gameplay innovations and enhancements: - **Azure Striker Gunvolt**: Step into the role of Gunvolt, an Adept wielding the power of lightning, as he battles through high-speed stages to challenge the Sumeragi Group.

The Trilogy Enhanced version introduces new Skills, expanding Gunvolt’s abilities. - **Azure Striker Gunvolt 2**: Introducing Copen as a fully playable character, players can dash and lock onto opponents before launching a flurry of homing lasers.

Copen’s aerial "Bullit Dash" enables advanced movement and enemy destruction.

The Enhanced edition features re-recorded voices for Copen and his companion Lola. - **Azure Striker Gunvolt 3**: The series takes on a fresh dimension with the addition of Kirin, a new heroine balancing swift melee attacks via her "Arc Chain" teleporting ability.

Both Kirin and Gunvolt gain access to powerful new "Voltaic Arts" and improved combat mechanics, while the Image Pulse system enables collecting over 150 unlockable buffs and attacks derived from series characters. Among the exclusive Trilogy content is Library Mode, which allows players to revisit key communication scenes from every entry, alongside audio dramas that were previously only released in Japan—now officially translated and included for the first time. Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced also introduces a launch offer for Nintendo Switch players, providing a 10% discount during the first two weeks of release through the Nintendo eShop.

Furthermore, digital owners of either Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack or Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 on Switch can take advantage of a 50% discount for one month, as part of the Gunvolt 10th Anniversary Special Sale ending August 23rd. This comprehensive package celebrates the legacy and continued evolution of Inti Creates’ flagship series, cementing Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced as an essential addition for fans of 2D action platformers.
