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 (Abductors), scavenge parts, upgrade gear, and complete challenging missions. However, Remastered significantly enhances the experience.
The game, initially a PlayStation Vita exclusive, offers a compelling alternative to the Monster Hunter series, sharing a similar gameplay structure but with a distinct futuristic setting. Players take on the role of a "Sinner," sentenced to perform missions for their Panopticon (city-state) to atone for the crime of being born. Missions vary, from rescuing citizens and eliminating Abductors to seizing control systems, playable solo or cooperatively online.
The trailer highlights key improvements in Freedom Wars Remastered:
Enhanced Visuals: Experience significantly improved graphics, jumping from 544p to 4K (2160p) resolution on PS5 and PC, maintaining a smooth 60 FPS. PS4 players enjoy 1080p at 60 FPS, while the Switch version runs at 1080p, 30 FPS.
Faster-Paced Gameplay: Enjoy a more dynamic combat experience with increased movement speed and new mechanics allowing for weapon attack cancellations.
Revamped Crafting: The crafting and upgrade systems feature more intuitive interfaces and allow for the easy attachment and detachment of modules. A new module synthesis feature lets players enhance modules using resources gained from rescued citizens.
New Difficulty: The "Deadly Sinner" difficulty mode provides a significant challenge for veteran players.
Complete DLC Included: All customization DLC from the original PS Vita release is available from the outset.
Freedom Wars Remastered launches January 10th for PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC. This enhanced version promises a more accessible and engaging experience for both newcomers and returning players.
