The 2014 action RPG from the PlayStation Vita era is being revived for modern platforms, with 4K/60 FPS support and new features.
Bandai Namco has announced that Freedom Wars, launched in 2014 for the PlayStation Vita, is getting a remaster. Developed by Dimps, it will launch on January 10th, 2025, for PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Check out the announcement trailer below.
The premise involves a far-flung future where humanity is confined to Panopticons, fighting over resources. As a Sinner, you have a one million-year sentence to serve and must participate in combat operations against the Abductors to fight for freedom. While it retains the same combat and story, Freedom Wars Remastered features a 4K resolution, 60 FPS support, and improved textures on PlayStation and PC.
Alongside difficulty settings and a revamped crafting system, it also features “refined” controls. The eight-player co-op remains intact, though it remains to be seen if the League of Panopticons online feature carries over.
