GungHo Online Entertainment America has announced that Grandia 2 Anniversary Edition, the remastered PC version of the classic JRPG, will be releasing on August 24th for Steam. It can also be purchased on GOG for $14.99 initially after which it will be priced at $19.99.
President/CEO of Game Arts/GungHo Kazuki Morsishita revealed in an official statement that, “After careful consideration, we have chosen to retitle the game for PC to Grandia II Anniversary Edition in order to properly celebrate Grandia II’s 15th anniversary. The fans voted and, now, we are proud to bring a revamped edition of the classic role-playing game from Dreamcast to PC as Grandia II Anniversary Edition.”
Grandia 2 originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000 and is personally one of my favourite Japanese RPGs of all time. The Anniversary Edition will include a Japanese voice option, support for gamepads and another difficulty level on top of improved visuals. Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments.
