R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos Nears Release: Granzella Unveils Key Updates for Nintendo Switch and More

Granzella’s Highly Anticipated R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos Nears Completion for Nintendo Switch and Multi-Platform Release Fans of classic strategy gaming have reason to celebrate, as Granzella’s long-awaited R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is finally moving closer to release.

The studio, recognized for its dedication to revitalizing beloved franchises, has confirmed in a recently published official video that the project is nearing the finish line.

This eagerly anticipated collection brings meticulously remade versions of the two renowned PSP strategy games, R-Type Tactics (originally released as R-Type: Command in Western territories) and R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate, to modern platforms including Nintendo Switch. Originally unveiled back in 2022, R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos sparked excitement among tactical gamers with its promise of enhanced visuals and curated content based on customer feedback.

The title was initially scheduled for a 2023 release, targeting both Japanese and Western markets; however, development delays resulted in multiple postponements—first to Fall 2024, and subsequently slipping into 2025.

Throughout this period, Granzella consistently apologized for the wait, citing unforeseen challenges but providing little detail about the reasons behind the extended timeline. Now, with the debut of a new official trailer, Granzella is reaffirming its commitment to delivering a polished experience.

The studio announced that specifics about the "release date, pricing, platforms, and other details will be unveiled in late September." This update signals renewed confidence in the project’s progress, after an extended period of silence and delays. R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos promises to preserve the deep turn-based strategy mechanics that defined the original PSP entries, while introducing a suite of graphical and quality-of-life improvements for contemporary audiences.

With previous announcements confirming launches on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (both via Steam and the Epic Games Store), this updated version aims to reach a wide international audience familiar with both portable and home console gaming.

While speculation continues around future hardware such as a possible Switch successor, Granzella has not issued further statements about expanding platform support beyond previously listed systems. The R-Type series remains one of the most respected names in tactical and sci-fi gaming, with a legacy stretching over three decades.

Granzella’s commitment to honoring this heritage and appealing to both franchise veterans and newcomers alike is evident in their detailed remastering and careful communication with fans. Stay tuned for additional updates this September, when Granzella is set to provide comprehensive information on launch timing, platform availability—including the much-anticipated digital release on the Nintendo eShop—and pricing.

As anticipation builds, R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos stands poised to deliver its iconic strategic gameplay to a new generation of enthusiasts on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
