Bandai Namco recently released a trailer for Freedom Wars Remastered, showcasing enhanced visuals and several gameplay updates, including a new difficulty level and balanced game mechanics. Scheduled for release on January 10 for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC, the remaster aims to deliver an improved experience of the original action RPG.
Originally developed in response to Sony's loss of exclusivity over the Monster Hunter series, Freedom Wars was launched on the PS Vita with gameplay mirroring the hunting and upgrading loop of Monster Hunter. Set in a dystopian future where players, known as Sinners, combat massive mechanical creatures called Abductors, the game involves missions that contribute to the welfare of their city-state, or Panopticon.
The remastered version promises significant graphical improvements, up to 4K resolution on PS5 and PC, along with a faster-paced gameplay experience due to enhanced mechanics and user-friendly interfaces. New features include module synthesis for upgrading gear and a challenging Deadly Sinner difficulty mode. The game also offers all customization DLC from the original release, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging gameplay experience.
