Lunar Remastered Collection set for release in April

Set some time aside in April, because GungHo that the Lunar Remastered Collection will arrive on April 18, 2025 forꦜ PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

I feel like we keep getting Lunar re-releases, but I looke𝓰d it up and the last one♎ was actually in 2010 for the PSP. Or 2012 if you count mobile. Still, it’s seen a lot of second chances for a game that original released on Sega CD back in 1992.

Lunar Remastered Collection combines Lunar: The Silver Star and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue, or rather, the PS1 version of those. And while it’s titled “remastered” it largely has the same graphics as those releases with some added effects. It’s still 2D and pixelated, which is fine (or even preferred) by me, but doesn’t feel like it earns the title. Unless you count that gross depth-of-field effect they put on the top and bottom of the screen. I guess the cutscenes seem to be remastered, so it counts. Whatever, I’m not the remaster police.

It looks like you can turn off the gross depth-of-field effects, or, at the very least, play it in classic mode. This might also mean you lose the widescr🎶een mode, but maybe you can tweak things. Either way, you’ll have the same classic games in a new package, so that’s worth a lot.

There will also be a physical version available for $54.99 USD. They will notably feature “reversible covers showcasing two new key arts for LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, both illustrated exclusively for the Lunar Remastered Collection by Toshiyuki Kubooka.”

Lunar Remastered Collection launches on Apri🎃l 18, 2025, for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
