Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered review

System: Switch
Release date: January 10, 2025
Developer: Dimps
Publisher: Bandai Namco


Despite the overwhelming and uncontested success of the Nintendo 3DS, I have always felt as though Sony gave up on the PlayStation Vita far too soon, and Freedom Wars is a fine illustration of this point. Originally released in 2014, the game went on to become one of the most successful first-party published titles for the system in Japan and easily filled the void left by the departure of Capcom’s Monster Hunter franchise to Nintendo systems. With its post-apocalyptic dystopian setting, more detailed narrative, and varied mission structure that went beyond simply hunting large single targets over and over again, it felt like the next step for hunting-style action RPGs, limited only by its chosen platform. Playing through the game again over a decade later, Freedom Wars Remastered holds up surprisingly well.

Freedom Wars Remastered

September 17: Freedom Wars Remastered is in development for Switch, Bandai Namco just revealed. A release is planned for January 10, 2025.

Freedom Wars originally came to the PlayStation Vita in 2014. Sony published the original version, but the publisher has shifted to Bandai Namco this time around.

Freedom Wars Remastered physical

It seems that Freedom Wars Remastered won’t be available physically in the west, but in Asia, Bandai Namco has other plans. The game will be sold at retail in the region – and English support will be included.

Remember that Nintendo Switch is a region free console. That means the system is compatible with all games regardless of region. If you import the physical version in Asia, it can be played just like any other title.

Freedom Wars sequel

Freedom Wars is back after a decade, and if things go well with the remaster, it could lead to a sequel.

Director Takashi Tsukamoto was speaking about the game’s return in an interview with IGN. He said that Dimps has “been looking for opportunities to release something, maybe a sequel – something related to Freedom Wars”, but “it was very difficult to set up a team and nothing was really lining up.” That’s when the idea of a remaster came about.
