Grandia I Ii Are Getting Remastered For Switch

GungHo has announced that retro-tastic RPGs Grandia and Grandia II will be heading to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Both titles will be fully remastered in sparkling high-definition for the Big N’s hybrid platform, although there’s no word on any extra content at the time of writing. GungHo did confirm, however, that Steam is also going to receive a HD upgrade of Grandia at some point.

Grandia may not be quite the household name that Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest is, but the series still maintains a strong following. If you haven’t played them, then this might be a good time to fix that.

The original game launched on PlayStation and Sega Saturn back in the late 90s, with the sequel arriving in 2000 on Dreamcast and was later ported to PlayStation 2 and PC a few years later.

Both titles were originally developed by GameArts, with Grandia utilising 3D environments with vibrant bitmap sprites, while Grandia II instead plumped for a 3D game engine that allowed for a seamless transition between exploration and combat.

Grandia and Grandia II HD Remaster have yet to attract a release date.
