PlayStation's recent State of Play was loaded with all sorts of Xbox-related announcements, and one in particular for JRPG fans was the Lunar Remastered Collection announcement.
This game will include Lunar: Silver Star Story and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue and launches in Spring 2025 for Xbox One. This updated collection will include improved graphics, sound, and various quality-of-life improvements like the ability to speed up battles. You'll also be able to swap between the "old school" and remastered visuals.
"The remastered edition brings a host of exciting upgrades, including widescreen support, enhanced pixel art, high-definition animated cutscenes, and all-new English voice acting."
Here's a bit about these '90s JRPGs (via the PlayStation blog):
Lunar: Silver Star Story begins in the quiet village of Burg, where a boy named Alex dreams of grand adventures inspired by the tale of Dragonmaster Dyne. Enticed by adventure and treasure, Alex and his friends set off on a quest, but with the sudden emergence of the Magic Emperor who wishes to control the world, it’s up to them to fight the rising evil and save the world from peril.
Set 1000 years after Lunar: Silver Star Story, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue follows a young adventurer named Hiro, who encounters a mysterious visitor from the Blue Star while exploring an ancient tower. Named Lucia, she insists that she be taken to the ruler of their world, Goddess Althena. Together, Hiro and Lucia encounter the best of allies, the worst of enemies, and the darkest forces of destruction that threaten the whole of creation.
