In an unexpected announcement, Bandai Namco Europe has unveiled that they are working on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/freedom-wars-remastered/">Freedom Wars Remastered</a>, a revamped version of the hit PlayStation Vita action game. It is set to launch on January 10, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3004100/FREEDOM_WARS_Remastered/">Steam</a>.

Released back in October 2014, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/freedom-wars/">Freedom Wars</a> takes place in a dystopian future where humanity is confined to a massive prison-slash-city called Panopticons. It is a bleak and oppressive place where living is a crime punished by a million-year sentence. 

They must fight for their freedom by engaging in dangerous combat operations and competing with other Panopticons for the planet's remaining resources. 

The remastered version promises enhanced 4K resolution, upgraded textures, 60fps gameplay, and improved weapon crafting, along with added difficulty settings. Additionally, it features an expanded English and Japanese voice acting, namely with its cast of Android characters. 

Players can expect the return of its dynamic three-dimensional combat. It now comes with a variety of quality of life improvements that make its third-person combat a bit modernized. Gameplay is often compared to the likes of CAPCOM’s Monster Hunter franchise and even Bandai Namco’s very own God Eater series.

Like the original, the remaster also comes with the return of its <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/multiplayer/">multiplayer</a>. Online co-op missions allow up to four players to band together in a fight to reduce their prison sentence and survive the harsh conditions. 

Freedom Wars: Remastered maintains the game’s original combat. Players still assume the role of ‘Sinners’ with their set of guns and a special ability called Thorns. These are capable of traversing the environment, subduing enemies, and severing limbs for valuable resources. 

The game is now available to wishlist on Steam. Pre-orders for console versions will be announced soon.
