Tactics Ogre: Reborn Seemingly Launching November 11, New Details and Screenshots Leaked

It looks like Square Enix’s beloved turn-based tactical RPG Tactics Ogre could be on the comeback trail. Rumours about a potential revival first emerged when Square Enix filed a trademark for Tactics Ogre: Reborn in Japan earlier this year. That was followed just a couple months later by a PlayStation Store listing of the game, outing it as a remaster of the 1995 Tactics Orge title.

Now, more new details on the game have leaked. PS Deals is a site that tracks the PlayStation Store’s database and any updates made to it, and it recently put up updated PS5 and PS4 pages for Tactics Ogre: Reborn that reveal details on the remaster and its improvements, mentions its release date, and also reveals screenshots to offer a glimpse of what the remaster will look like. Check out the screenshots.

As per these leaked details, Tactics Orge: Reborn will feature “improved graphics and sound, as well as updated game design.” That will include revamped enemy AI in combat, a unit-by-unit level system replacing the class-wide level management system used in the original, completely overhauled controls and UI, quicker battles, auto saves, and more.

The remaster will apparently feature “painstakingly recreated” HD versions of characters and backgrounds from the original game. All music in the game has also been re-recorded with live performances, while all cutscenes will now also include full voice overs for both English and Japanese.

According to these leaked details, Tactics Ogre: Reborn will launch for PS5 and PS4 on November 11, and will allow free cross-gen upgrades. Whether or not the remaster is also planned for other platforms remains to be seen. It should also be interesting to see when Square Enix decides to officially announce this. If it is indeed coming in November, then an announcement shouldn’t be too far away.
