Freedom Wars Remastered: Enhanced Gameplay and New Features Revealed

A new trailer for Freedom Wars Remastered showcases the game's revamped gameplay and control systems, offering a fresh look at this dystopian action RPG. The core loop remains familiar: battle colossal mechanical creatures known as Abductors, harvest their components, upgrade your gear, and complete challenging missions. This remastered edition, however, boasts significant improvements.

Launching January 10th for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC, Freedom Wars Remastered features enhanced visuals, improved game balance, a challenging new difficulty setting, and numerous updated features. The game's origins lie in a response to Sony's loss of Monster Hunter exclusivity. Capcom's decision to shift its focus to Nintendo platforms prompted Sony to develop Freedom Wars for the PS Vita, creating a similar, yet distinct, monster-hunting experience.

The trailer introduces the protagonist, a Sinner condemned for the crime of being born, navigating a world depleted of resources. The Sinner's sentence involves completing missions for their Panopticon, a city-state, ranging from rescuing citizens to destroying Abductors and securing control systems. These missions can be tackled solo or cooperatively online.

Gameplay Enhancements in Freedom Wars Remastered:

The trailer highlights several key improvements:

  • Enhanced Graphics: Experience stunning visuals with 4K resolution (2160p) at 60 FPS on PS5 and PC. PS4 offers 1080p at 60 FPS, while the Switch version runs at 1080p and 30 FPS.
  • Faster-Paced Gameplay: Enjoy a more dynamic experience with increased movement speed and new mechanics allowing for smoother weapon attack cancellations.
  • Revamped Crafting and Upgrades: Intuitive interfaces and freely attachable/detachable modules streamline the upgrade process. A new module synthesis feature lets players enhance modules using resources from rescued citizens.
  • Deadly Sinner Difficulty: A new, brutally challenging difficulty mode caters to seasoned players.
  • All Original DLC Included: All customization DLC from the original PS Vita release is available from the outset.

Freedom Wars Remastered promises a refined and enhanced experience for both returning fans and newcomers to this unique action RPG.
