Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei marks the first entry in the series in about 15 years. Longtime composer Noriyuki Iwadare is back for the 3DS project, and has expressed his excitement about returning to the series. In fact, Iwadare wants “to do even more” work for Langrisser.

Below is what Iwadare shared with fans:

It truly makes me happy to see a revival of past works like this. I really wanted to do it! Which I got to do, and it was really fun, to the point where I’d like to do even more.

I believe that the new Langrisser game was made into something that will meet all of your expectations, so please look forward to its release in July!
