Freedom Wars Remastered: Enhanced Gameplay and New Features Revealed
A new trailer for Freedom Wars Remastered showcases the game's improved gameplay and control systems, along with significant updates. Players will once again battle colossal mechanical creatures, upgrade their equipment, and complete challenging missions within a bleak, dystopian world.
Bandai Namco's recently released trailer highlights the remastered title's enhanced visuals, refined game balance, and a challenging new difficulty setting. Freedom Wars Remastered launches January 10th for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC.
Originally developed as a response to Capcom's decision to move the Monster Hunter franchise to Nintendo consoles, Freedom Wars (for the PS Vita) offered a similar gameplay loop in a futuristic setting. Players fight massive Abductors, collect their parts, and upgrade their gear for more effective combat.
The new trailer introduces the protagonist, a "Sinner" condemned for the crime of being born, into a resource-depleted world. The Sinner's sentence involves completing missions for their Panopticon (city-state), ranging from rescuing civilians and eliminating Abductors to seizing control systems. Missions can be tackled solo or cooperatively online.
Enhanced Gameplay and Features in Freedom Wars Remastered:
The trailer emphasizes several key improvements. Graphics have received a significant boost, reaching 4K (2160p) resolution at 60 FPS on PS5 and PC. PS4 players will experience 1080p at 60 FPS, while the Switch version runs at 1080p, 30 FPS. Gameplay is noticeably faster, thanks to streamlined design and mechanics such as increased movement speed and improved attack cancellation.
Crafting and upgrades have been completely revamped, featuring more intuitive interfaces and the ability to attach and detach modules freely. A new module synthesis feature allows players to enhance modules using resources gained from rescued citizens. Finally, a "Deadly Sinner" difficulty mode caters to experienced players, and all original customization DLC from the PS Vita version is included.
