Freedom Wars Remastered Release Date, File Size, and Features Confirmed for Nintendo Switch eShop

Freedom Wars Remastered, the long-anticipated action RPG initially released as an exclusive for the PlayStation Vita, is set to debut on the Nintendo Switch eShop next week.

Developed by Sony's Japan Studio and Shift, Freedom Wars has established a cult following since its original 2014 release, celebrated for its dystopian storytelling and intense cooperative gameplay. The Nintendo Switch launch marks the first time Freedom Wars will be available on a platform outside of PlayStation systems, bringing its acclaimed multiplayer gameplay to a broader audience via the eShop.

According to official details from Nintendo, the digital version of Freedom Wars Remastered will require approximately 4.6 GB of free space on your Nintendo Switch console.

Players who prefer physical editions can obtain a cartridge version by importing the Japanese release, which features full English language support, ensuring accessibility for international fans. In addition to the standard digital edition, Nintendo’s eShop is offering a premium 'Contribution Edition' for Freedom Wars Remastered.

This upgraded bundle includes the base game, a Contribution Boost Pack, and a Digital Art Book.

While the regular edition will retail for $39.99 (or equivalent in your region), the Contribution Edition is priced at $49.99, providing added value for dedicated fans and collectors. Freedom Wars Remastered introduces a range of technical improvements and gameplay enhancements based on player feedback and advancements in hardware capabilities.

The remaster features rebalanced gameplay and new difficulty options to accommodate both newcomers and series veterans.

Weapon crafting and upgrade systems have been fine-tuned, while visual fidelity sees a leap forward with enhanced graphics and high-resolution textures.

These adjustments aim to modernize the experience while retaining the core elements that resonated with players during its original launch on the PlayStation Vita. This fresh release not only extends the legacy of Freedom Wars but also exemplifies a growing trend of beloved handheld titles finding renewed life on the Nintendo Switch platform.

With Sony and Nintendo continuing to foster cross-platform interest in classic IP, Switch owners now have the opportunity to revisit—or discover for the first time—one of the era's standout action RPGs. Freedom Wars Remastered will be available for download starting next week via the Nintendo eShop, with both standard and Contribution Edition options ready for purchase.
