[UPDATE:<\/strong> The first trailer for GrimGrimoire OnceMore<\/em> has been released. You can check out footage from the remaster in the video below, courtesy of Gematsu<\/a>. NIS America is yet to announce a localization.]<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> Grab your magic wands and your cute Victorian boots, folks. Nippon Ichi Software has announced that the classic PS2 strategy title GrimGrimoire<\/em> is getting a remaster. Currently in development at Vanillaware, the delightfully titled GrimGrimoire OnceMore<\/em> will launch in Japan this summer on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.<\/p> As revealed in the newest issue of Weekly Famitsu, GrimGrimoire OnceMore<\/em> will see clumsy witch-in-training Lillet Blan attempt to rescue her school, The Tower of Silver Star, from a bothersome time loop, activated by a nefarious sorcerer who comes seeking the Philosopher’s Stone. A 2D real-time-strategy adventure, players control Lillet as she puppeteers armies of mystic familiars, battling it out with the evil wizard’s own dark forces.<\/p> Check out the trailer for the original 2007 release below.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> GrimGrimoire<\/em> was written and directed by George Kamitani of Dragon’s Crown<\/em> fame<\/a>, and features the instantly recognizable art style of Kouichi Maenou. Unfortunately, despite receiving plaudits from critics and fans, and even being fortunate enough to receive a western localization, GrimGrimoire<\/em> was something of a sales flop, which quickly put an end to plans for an extended franchise.<\/p> The new remaster promises higher-resolution, widescreen visuals, new magic mechanics and skill tree options, rebalanced difficulty options, an overhauled save system, and a newly recorded voice track, as well as a gallery of Maenou’s gorgeous artwork. With this sparkling remaster, perhaps GrimGrimoire<\/em> will find the plaudit and success in 2022 that escaped it back in 2007. While a western localization has not been announced, NIS has shown plenty of commitment in bringing its recent release to these shores, so an international edition seems somewhat inevitable.<\/p> GrimGrimoire OnceMore<\/em> launches in Japan on PS4 and Nintendo Switch July 28.<\/p> GrimGrimoire OnceMore announced for PS4 and Switch<\/a> [Gematsu \/ Ryokutya2089<\/a>]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":316544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[562,19132,691,19354,19114,414,100,2393],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":3,"display_name":"Chris Moyse","user_login":"Chris Moyse","user_nicename":"chris-moyse"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
