Lunar Remastered Collection: A Legendary Return

The stars are aligning once more for fans of classic Japanese role-playing games. On April 18, 2025, “GungHo Online Entertainment” is set to release the “Lunar Remastered Collection”, a meticulously crafted compilation that brings together two of the genre’s most cherished titles: “Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete” and “Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete”. These beloved games, originally developed by Game Arts, have been revitalized for modern platforms, offering both longtime fans and newcomers an opportunity to experience their magic anew.

A Timeless Tale Reimagined

The “Lunar” series, first introduced in the early 1990s, captivated players with its compelling narratives, endearing characters, and strategic turn-based combat. The remastered collection honors this legacy while introducing a suite of modern enhancements:

• Enhanced Visuals: Both titles feature updated 2D graphics and character sprites, now presented in widescreen format. Players can choose between the new “Remastered” visuals or the original “Classic” fullscreen graphics, catering to both purists and those seeking a refreshed experience.
• Audio Upgrades: The games boast newly recorded English voiceovers, alongside the original Japanese tracks. Additionally, French and German language options have been added, broadening accessibility for a global audience.
• Quality-of-Life Improvements: Modern conveniences such as the ability to speed up battle animations and customizable strategy settings have been integrated, streamlining gameplay without compromising the original challenge.
• Physical Editions with Exclusive Artwork: Collectors will appreciate the physical editions, which feature reversible covers adorned with new illustrations by original series artist “Toshiyuki Kubooka”. In North America, these editions are available exclusively through Amazon, while European distribution is handled by Clear River Games.

Platform Availability and Pricing

The Lunar Remastered Collection will be accessible across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4 (with compatibility for PlayStation 5), Xbox One (compatible with Xbox Series X|S), Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Digital versions are priced at $49.99, while physical editions are available for $54.99.

A Stellar Return

The return of the “Lunar” series in this remastered collection is more than a nostalgic revival; it’s a testament to the enduring appeal of well-crafted storytelling and engaging gameplay. By thoughtfully updating these classics for contemporary audiences, “GungHo Online Entertainment” ensures that the magic of this game’s complete story continues to enchant players old and new. I used to wish to be able to go back in time to play these types of games for the first time all over again, and now, thanks to the brand new collection coming out with its enhanced graphics, the game will be even more fun the second time around than it was the first.
