In addition to improved visuals, there will also be “new features” that will help in progression. Expect further details in the coming months. Rumored back in February, Monolith Soft is developing the remaster while Bandai Namco – who owns the IP – is the co-developer.

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean first launched in 2003 and has players guiding Kalas and friends. Combat relies on cards called Magnus which use the essence of items. Though acclaimed, it received criticism for its story and voice acting. Baten Kaitos Origins is a prequel and fared better in the localization, though it was never released in Europe.

A recent leak claimed that Bandai Namco and Monolith Soft were working on a remaster of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, but as it turns out, they might be doing more than that. Key art for a combined remaster of both Baten Kaitos games – including 2006’s Baten Kaitos Origins – has leaked online and been shared on Reddit, with the artwork referring to the release as Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Remaster.

And that’s not all. On top of the leaked artwork, veteran artist Nakaba Higurashi – who was the lead character designer on both Baten Kaitos games – recently took to Twitter with a tweet comprised of a series of emojis, possibly hinting at an upcoming announcement.

We’ll know soon enough whether this leak is an accurate one, so stay tuned for more updates.
