NIS America has announced that GrimGrimoire OnceMore, an HD Remaster of the original PS2 tactical RPG, will have an English release in the Spring of 2023 for Switch, PS4, and PS5.
The game will feature English and Japanese dubs with English text.
“From the developers at Vanillaware, the classic PlayStation 2 strategy game GrimGrimoire is being remastered with brand-new features to explore!
Join aspiring mage, Lillet Blan, on her journey within the Silver Star Tower, a renowned academy for magicians. All is not what it seems inside the tower walls—mysteries, monsters, and menaces lurk about. Harness the power of magic to dispel the secrets hidden within the tower and discover the truth of the Silver Star Tower once more!”
The HD remaster will include new HD artwork as well as a brand new skill tree, improved user interface, and art gallery.
The game was developed by Vanillaware, who also made classic RPGs like Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. They’re known for their beautiful hand-drawn animated sprites and engrossing fantasy storylines.
Pre-orders for the limited edition version of the game have also gone live on the NIS America store for $89.99 USD. The limited edition comes with an artbook, a two-disk soundtrack, a cloth poster, an acrylic display, art cards, keychains, and a collector’s box.
GrimGrimoire OnceMore will have its English release on the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch in the spring of 2023. The game has already been released in Japan for the previously mentioned consoles.
