Front Mission 2: Remake Release Date Unveiled
Front Mission 2: Remake has finally been given a new release date. It was originally scheduled for release in June, but publisher Forever Entertainment delayed it when the time came. Now it has been confirmed in an official announcement that the game will launch on October 5 on the Nintendo eShop for $34.99 / €34.99.
The delay was reportedly due to “polishing up” the game, and Forever Entertainment has assured fans that the wait will be worth it. The original Front Mission 2 was released for the PlayStation in 1997. It was praised for its complex tactical gameplay and engaging story. The remake is expected to be a faithful adaptation of the original game, while also introducing new features and enhancements.
Last year, a remake version of the first game Front Mission 1 landed on Switch. There is a remake of Front Mission 3 coming up soon as well.
We have provided the entire overview of the game below:
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 rose up and, led by Ven Mackarge, declared 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.
