Langrisser I & II

NIS America is celebrating Langrisser I & II’s western release with a new launch trailer. Take a look at the video below.

System: Switch
Release date: March 10, 2020
Developer: Chara-ani
Publisher: NIS America


Langrisser has always been a name familiar with the cultured strategy RPG player, but not one that may be globally known despite what it did for the genre way back in the 90s. When Langrisser debuted in 1991 as ‘Warsong’, it quickly became a juggernaut that gave the likes of Tactics Ogre and Fire Emblem serious competition, but with a lack of official localizations, it became an afterthought to those that didn’t seek out the series further. After the franchise was dormant for nearly two decades – and having not received a release outside of Japan longer than that – Langrisser I & II sees the series officially make its return after the ill-received Re:Incarnation -TENSEI- in 2015. The complete package of Langrisser I & II is an absolute treat with a fresh makeover that both honors and respects the game’s origins and tactile gameplay, providing fans and newcomers alike a reason to get familiar with Langrisser and why it should be on everyone’s radar.

Langrisser I & II finally debuts in the west on March 10. For a look at some footage, check out the video below.

A little while back, we had the pleasure of sitting down with some prominent figures behind the Langrisser I & II remasters for Switch. We discussed revisiting the series, the difficulties of the system’s card sizes, the future of the Langrisser universe and remaking other titles.

We spoke with game director Takayuki Akiho, Koichi Kondo (from Chara-Ani), and the legendary artist, Satoshi Urushihara, known for his work on the original Langrisser series, the Growlanswer series and much more.

To celebrate the upcoming western release, we’ve prepared our full interview below.

Langrisser I & II received a demo on Switch this week, and to celebrate, NIS America has prepared a new trailer. Check it out below.

NIS America has announced that Langrisser I & II will be receiving a demo on February 20, which covers Chapters 1-3 of Langrisser I and Chapters 4-6 of Langrisser II. Players can experience the Classic and Remastered art styles.
