Front Mission 1st: Remake Release Date Information

Front Mission 1st: Remake is set to release Summer 2022 for the Nintendo Switch. The sequel Front Mission 2: Remake will also launch on Nintendo Switch "in the future."

As a full Nintendo Switch remaster of the original tactical RPG in the series, Front Mission 1st: Remake invites players to pilot weaponized machines called Wanzers and lead their battalions to victory in a modern mode with improved controls.

In the year 2090, the world's conflicts are fought using giant war machines called Wanzers. Huffman Island, the only place where the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.) share a land border, is a hotbed of conflict.

An O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon led by Captain Royd Clive is assigned to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. They are ambushed by U.C.S. Wanzers, triggering a series of events that plunges the whole island into war. Royd's fiancée, Lieutenant Karen Meure, goes missing in action.

Discharged from the military, Royd sets out to investigate what happened to Karen. His quest leads him closer and closer to the conspiracy behind the incident and the powers that orchestrated it.

With dozens of characters to meet, its mature story, and non-Manichean protagonists, Front Mission is the classic of a single-player tactical Japanese RPG genre, finally available worldwide.
