GungHo confirmed a major revival for a classic JRPG franchise during Sony’s State of Play event: the Lunar Remastered Collection will arrive on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, in Spring 2025.
The package bundles two seminal entries—Lunar: Silver Star Story and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue—updated for modern displays and audiences while preserving the series’ original storytelling and design roots.
The Lunar franchise originated in the 1990s and was developed by Game Arts; these titles have since been regarded as influential story-driven JRPGs with several re-releases and ports across retro platforms.
The remaster announcement emphasizes technical and accessibility upgrades.
GungHo described the collection as delivering widescreen presentation, enhanced pixel art, and high-definition animated cutscenes.
All-new English voice acting will be included, and players will have the option to switch between original visuals and remastered presentation modes.
In addition, the remaster introduces a battle speed toggle and improved strategy settings to streamline combat without changing core mechanics.
Localization has been expanded: German and French will be supported alongside English and Japanese for the first time in the series.
Key confirmed details:
- Release window: Spring 2025

- New features: widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, HD animated cutscenes, all-new English voice acting
