Forever Entertainment’s Front Mission 2: Remake, based on the PS One tactical RPG available only for Japan in 1997, launched earlier this month on Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, it isn’t without significant issues, but the publisher confirmed that updates are currently in development.
Thanking fans for their feedback, it revealed that the team is “hard at work on updates and improvements, including bug fixes and further work on localization to meet your standards.” It also apologized for any inconvenience caused.
In our review for the remake, the poor localization, somehow a step down from the first game, was noted to be a bummer. Of course, combat feeling frustrating due to randomness and a more predictable narrative didn’t help matters. Hopefully, there will be options for easier battles (if not less RNG) with future updates.
Front Mission 2: Remake delivers good-looking visuals and features updated music and effects, support for other languages, and faster loading times compared to the original. Stay tuned for more details on subsequent updates and improvements in the coming months.
