Lunar Remastered Collection: North American Release Details, Ordering Info, and Key Features

Fans of classic Japanese role-playing games can look forward to the highly anticipated Lunar Remastered Collection, set for release on April 18, 2025.

Developed by GungHo Online Entertainment, this collection brings together two of the most beloved turn-based RPG adventures from the Sega Saturn and PlayStation era, making them accessible to a new generation of players on modern platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. In an update shared through a comprehensive FAQ on the official GungHo Online Entertainment website, the publisher confirmed important details for North American RPG enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the game.

The Lunar Remastered Collection will launch both physically and digitally in North America, but with a unique twist: it will be sold exclusively through Amazon.

Store pages for both versions are already live, but advance pre-orders will not be offered.

In an official statement, GungHo Online Entertainment clarified: “We are not offering pre-orders for this release, but rest assured, this is not a limited run—ample copies will be available on release day for anyone interested.” The publisher did not specify whether physical versions would be available in traditional retail stores, focusing instead on the Amazon launch.

European fans will see distribution handled by Clear River Games, with details on store availability and pages to be announced soon.

As with the North American release, the physical edition will not be restricted to a limited print, easing concerns about scarcity for collectors and longtime fans. The Lunar Remastered Collection is based on the acclaimed 'Complete' PlayStation versions of Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar: Eternal Blue, notable for their enhanced graphics, expanded content, and refined gameplay.

One confirmed technical upgrade is the ability to toggle off the blur effect that typically appears at the top and bottom of the screen during play, offering a clearer, more authentic visual experience.

However, there are no options to adjust game difficulty levels, preserving the original challenge and encouraging players to engage deeply with its tactical turn-based mechanics. Historically, the PlayStation releases of these titles have become rare and costly collector’s items, often fetching hundreds of dollars on the secondary market.

This accessible remastered edition will finally give RPG fans and newcomers a chance to experience these classics without breaking the bank. Lunar Remastered Collection represents a significant preservation effort for GungHo Online Entertainment, bringing two seminal RPGs from the late 20th century into the current generation.

With a firm release date, confirmed retailer details, and assurance of plentiful supply, the wait is nearly over for fans eager to revisit the adventures of Lunar on platforms such as the Nintendo Switch and beyond.
