Front Mission 2: Remake Moves Out June 12th for Switch

Publisher Forever Entertainment and developer Storm Trident have revealed that Front Mission 2: Remake will launch digitally on Nintendo Switch on June 12th! This classic Square Enix strategy RPG is the second entry in the trilogy of remakes that was previously announced last year on a Nintendo Direct.

See below for an overview from the Front Mission 2: Remake eShop page:

A classic tactical RPG returns! The second game in the main Front Mission storyline is finally available outside of Japan for the first time.

FRONT MISSION 2 blends intense strategy with a deep and involved storyline.

12 years have passed since the second Huffman conflict. The impoverished People’s Republic of Alordesh has been suffering a severe economic decline ever since the war ended. In June 2102, soldiers of the Alordesh Army rise up and, led by Ven Mackarge, declare independence from the O.C.U. (Oceania Cooperative Union).

Ash, an O.C.U. soldier, manages to survive the ensuing battle, but Alordesh is completely overrun by the Revolutionary Army. Ash and his surviving teammates infiltrate Alordesh’s chaotic underground in an attempt to escape the country. However, they soon discover that there is a huge conspiracy behind the coup.

In FRONT MISSION 2, the perspective switches between three characters: Ash, Lisa, and Thomas, creating a worldview that goes beyond a simple dichotomy between good and evil.

FRONT MISSION 2: Remake preserves the mature story, strategic turn-based combat, and Wanzer customization options of the original. Enjoy the revitalized classic with updated visuals and new features and enhancements!
– Support for many new languages
– New ‘free camera’ option to zoom in during gameplay and check out Wanzers in detail
