Front Mission 2: Remake confirmed for physical release on Switch

Front Mission 2: Remake will soon be appearing on the Switch eShop, but Forever Entertainment has now confirmed plans for a physical release.

The boxed version will be sold as an “unLimited Version”. Each copy contains the game, reversible cover showcasing Wanzer on a battlefield and emblems of the military units, manual that acts as a 16-page compendium of knowledge about the game mechanics and characters you will encounter during the gameplay, and a numbered certificate.

Here’s some information about the game:

Front Mission 2 blends intense strategy with a deep and involved storyline.

12 years have passed since the second Huffman conflict. The impoverished People’s Republic of Alordesh has been suffering a severe economic decline ever since the war ended. In June 2102, soldiers of the Alordesh Army rise up and, led by Ven Mackarge, declare independence from the O.C.U. (Oceania Cooperative Union).

Ash, an O.C.U. soldier, manages to survive the ensuing battle, but Alordesh is completely overrun by the Revolutionary Army. Ash and his surviving teammates infiltrate Alordesh’s chaotic underground in an attempt to escape the country. However, they soon discover that there is a huge conspiracy behind the coup.

In Front Mission 2, the perspective switches between three characters: Ash, Lisa, and Thomas, creating a worldview that goes beyond a simple dichotomy between good and evil.

Front Mission 2: Remake preserves the mature story, strategic turn-based combat, and Wanzer customization options of the original. Enjoy the revitalized classic with updated visuals and new features and enhancements!
