Get ready for a remake of a classic tactical RPG from Japan – FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake is coming soon to GOG!

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.

All of it with HD visuals and a modern mode with improved controls – wishlist it now so you won’t miss its release or any special offer!

eric5h5: Not that many people are familiar with this game, and the only way to play it these days otherwise is with emulation, so it's a legitimate candidate for a remake. It's not like it's a remake of a game that's still widely available and came out <10 years ago.

arugulaKhan: That's a fair point.

What doesn't sit right with me, however, is this so called "studio" modifying Front Mission and calling it an "upgrade" (referring here to that "select a campaign" GIF on the game's page; campaigns, plural? Front Mission only had the one).

I've seen the same thing with Baldur's Gate Enhanced and other titles, where "devs" can't resist throwing in some of their own "creativity" to a game yonks better than anything they could make themselves...

It smacks of an art critic "updating" the Mona Lisa and irks me to no end.
uhhh I only played the original version, but I would assume that the remake has the same additional campaign as the later versions of the game (like the DS version).

Well, no, Front Mission 1st: Remake is, as it says, a remake of Front Mission First (which was a remake of Front Mission). They didn't add any campaigns.

Thanks for this. Wow. There’s a remake coming for fm2 and 3 but only for the switch and from a different developer. I wonder why? Not sure who the developers are either or whether the remakes will make it to GOG. That’s too bad.

As far as I know, all three remakes will be developed and published by Forever Entertainment. And Forever Entertainment usually has timed exclusivity for Switch releases, before bringing them to more platforms. For instance, the first Front Mission Remake was originally released on Switch in November 2022, but will now be available for more platforms this month. When the other remakes hit the Switch, a few more months should be enough before it becomes available on more platforms.

Glad the PC version finally got announced, even though I've been aware of it for a while. Really looking forward to playing this thing, sans the Switch's crappy hardware.

Thanks! The end of the video states that Forever is only doing the 1st remake so i got a little confused. The forever entertainment website does talk about FM2 remake being in the works but being delayed. Well, looking forward to getting all 3 here on GOG. I hope all of them show up here asap. Any preorder up?
