The Eternal Castle: Remastered is coming to Switch next week, according to an eShop listing. Yet despite the name, this is a new game entirely.

Marketing material mentions that The Eternal Castle: Remastered is a remake of a 1987 title. However, The Eternal Castle never actually existed at any point until this game’s launch. It’s an interesting move from the developers to try and convince people that we’re getting a remaster, but The Eternal Castle: Remastered is really more of a tribute to an earlier era.

Here’s some information about The Eternal Castle: Remastered as well as a trailer:
