Freedom War Remastered: A High-Definition Revival of the 2014 Classic

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced the upcoming release of Freedom War Remastered, a high-definition version of the 2014 PS Vita multiplayer action game. The game is set to launch on PS5, PS4, PC Steam, and Nintendo Switch in 2025.

Originally developed by SIE Japan Studio, Freedom War was a first-party game that has undergone significant changes in its development lineup. Bandai Namco has partnered with Sony to relaunch the game in high definition, making it available on PC Steam and PS4, in addition to the PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

Gameplay and Features

Freedom War Remastered is set in a dystopian future where humanity is struggling to survive in a desolate world. The game’s worldview is based on a near-future scenario where the rulers have enacted the PT law, convicting most people and sentencing them to 1 million years in prison.

The game will support 4K high resolution on PS5 and PC, with a frame rate of 60fps on all platforms except the Nintendo Switch, which will run at 30fps. The game’s system has been greatly improved, with features such as difficulty selection, optimized enemy AI, and additional DLC downloads and included content from the 2014 PS Vita version.

Release Date and Exhibition

Freedom War Remastered is set to launch on PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on January 9, 2025, and on Steam on January 10, 2025. The game will be exhibited at the Tokyo Game Show 2024, which will take place from September 26 to 29.
