Game Arts’ legendary Grandia series is coming to PS4 and Xbox One with the Grandia HD Collection. It’s out on March 26th and includes remasters for the first two games (which will be backwards compatible on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S). Pre-orders for a physical edition go live on March 15th via Limited Run Games. Check out the announcement trailer below.
First available for Nintendo Switch in August 2019 – with the individual titles available for PC shortly after – Grandia HD Collection features an “enhanced” UI, sprites, texture art and cinematics alongside widescreen support. There are also Japanese and English voice options, with other languages like French, German, Korean and Chinese (simplified and traditional) also supported.
Those seeking new challenges can try Hard Mode in Grandia 2 HD Remaster. It adds more health, damage and attack frequency to enemies. Even the bosses are less vulnerable to some attacks. Stay tuned for more details about the Collection before its Xbox/PlayStation launch.
