SaGa Frontier Remastered Brings the RPG Classic Back in 2021

SaGa Frontier Remastered Brings the RPG Classic Back in 2021SaGa Frontier Remastered, an updated take on the RPG from 1998, is set to hit multiple consoles next summer. The remastered version of SaGa Frontier is set for PlayStation 4, Switch, PC, iOS and Android.

Says Square Enix:

The 1998 classic is back: SaGa Frontier is being remastered with updated graphics, events, cutscenes, enhancements (and a new protagonist!) for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, iOS, and Android – launching in Summer 2021

Square Enix also released a trailer for the game, briefly teasing the updated graphics and new character, named Fuse.

Originally released by Square back in 1998, SaGa Frontier isn’t quite as renowned as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest (though it’s kind of a spinoff of the former). But it is known as a cult classic for its unique gameplay, graphics and music.

It’s technically the seventh game in the SaGa series, which began life with The Final Fantasy Legend on Game Boy in 1989. Players can choose from multiple protagonists, each with their own unique storyline. It’s also famous for feeling incomplete, so this remaster will hopefully finally give fans the full experience they’ve been waiting for.

The Remastered version will include a function to help speed up battles. Similar functions have been added to many remastered and rereleased versions of RPG classics.

Here’s looking forward to playing SaGa Frontier Remastered next year.
