R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos: Granzella Unveils New Trailer and 2025 Launch Plans for Nintendo Switch and More

Granzella, a respected developer in the field of strategy and shoot ’em up games, has generated buzz in the gaming community with the latest trailer for R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos.

The upcoming collection brings enhanced remakes of the classic PSP titles R-Type Tactics and R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate, now powered by Unreal Engine 5 for a new generation of players and platforms.

As anticipation builds, Granzella has announced it will reveal the official release date, pricing, platform details, and more this September.

Initially slated for a 2023 launch, R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos has been rescheduled twice and is now confirmed for a 2025 release window. R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos marks the return of the celebrated tactical offshoot of the R-Type franchise.

Unlike its more traditional side-scrolling shoot ’em up predecessors, the Tactics series fuses strategic, turn-based gameplay with the intense action R-Type is known for.

Players will command their forces in humanity’s battle against the Bydo Empire—or, in a unique twist, join the very opposition they once sought to defeat.

This two-game collection not only delivers nostalgia but also introduces a new audience to the intricacies of strategic play within the R-Type universe. Remade from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, the collection is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, offering significant visual and technical upgrades.

Notably, R-Type Tactics II will be officially available in the West for the first time, broadening the franchise’s reach.

Gameplay will span multiple campaigns, allowing users to experience the story from both the Space Corps’ and the Bydo’s perspectives, complete with branching missions and the debut of a third campaign exclusive to R-Type Tactics II.

Additionally, robust online multiplayer functionality lets fans compete to prove their tactical prowess. A representative from Granzella shared that the goal of R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is to create a strategic and visually dynamic experience, bringing classic gameplay together with modern enhancements.

The development team emphasized that, by transitioning both titles from the PSP to current platforms, they aim to introduce a beloved series to both returning veterans and new players alike. Key features of R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos include: - Both titles remade for contemporary hardware, marking their first appearance on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. - Multiple branching campaigns with fresh content, including a third campaign unique to R-Type Tactics II. - The first-ever official Western release of R-Type Tactics II. - Hundreds of ships, levels, and engaging online multiplayer battles. While a specific release date remains under wraps, Granzella has confirmed that more comprehensive information—including price, full platform support, and additional gameplay details—will be announced in September.

Until then, fans can view the latest official trailer and look forward to the awaited return of one of the strategy genre’s most innovative blends of tactics and shoot ’em up action. Stay tuned for updates as Granzella continues to share news on R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos and its launch across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and PC platforms.
