Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake officially confirmed for Nintendo Switch, first details and screenshots [update: first gameplay]
September 9: Years after it was first announced, Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake has received a status update, including news about a Nintendo Switch version and first screenshots.
Forever Entertainment first shared plans about the remake way back in 2018. At the time though, we knew almost nothing – including which platforms the project would end up on.
Today’s update confirms that Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake will be appearing on Nintendo Switch and it will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later this month at the Rainy Frog booth. Here’s the first set of details:
Panzer Dragoon Zwei: Remake is a refreshed edition of the second entry in the legendary rail shooter series, taking you into a unique world where ancient ruins, imperial power, and mysterious creatures shape the fate of an entire continent.
Step into the role of Jean Jacque Lundi, a young rider who, together with his extraordinary companion – a dragon named Lagi – embarks on a dangerous journey filled with battles, discoveries, and the secrets of ancient civilizations.
The gameplay remains a classic on-rail shooter – fast-paced combat where you strike down enemies with both Lundi’s gun and Lagi’s devastating lasers. With the Berserk Attack at your disposal, even the toughest encounters may turn in your favor.
Key Features:
- Series prequel: the story takes place 20 years before the events of the first Panzer Dragoon game.
- Dragon evolution: Lagi’s growth depends on your playstyle and combat performance.
- Dynamic rail shooter: fast action, intense encounters, and epic boss battles.
- Branching routes: multiple paths on the levels increase replayability.
- Berserk Attack: unleash devastating power to turn the tide of battle.
- Pandora’s Box: unlock additional gameplay options, modifications and mission variants after completing the campaign.
- Remastered music: includes both the original soundtrack and a remastered version arranged by Saori Kobayashi.
- Enhanced visuals: modern graphics faithful to the original style.
- Two control schemes: choose between classic and modern controls.
