The 2026 remaster introduces full localization support for global audiences, along with a suite of modern enhancements.
Among these additions are beloved quality-of-life features including rewind capability, save states, achievement systems, and CRT-style visual filters, making the experience both authentic to its roots and approachable for contemporary players.
