FRONT MISSION 2: Remake brings forth the wanzers today, all as it launches on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
You’ve probably heard of the FRONT MISSION series, whether that be through original releases a few decades ago, or via the – frankly, rather brilliant – FRONT MISSION 1: Remake in 2023. Now it’s time to follow on from that game, with FRONT MISSION 2: Remake.
Available from the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, FRONT MISSION 2: Remake is, as the name suggests, a remake of the original FRONT MISSION 2; a classic tactical RPG. What’s more, it sees release outside of Japan for the very first time.
It tells a tale of how the impoverished People’s Republic of Alordesh has been suffering a severe economic decline due to the 2nd Huffman Conflict, which created widespread discontent among citizens. Set some twelve years after the events of Front Mission 1st, on 12 June 2102, coup d’état led by Ven Mackarge began. On this exact day, three main military bases and the parliament in the country’s capital city were attacked and taken over. The O.C.U. responded to the attacks by sending their army to free Alordesh from rebel hands. Follow the O.C.U. military squads, ‘Muddy Otters’ , ‘Dull Stags’, and ‘O.C.U. Ground Defense Force Intelligence Agency’ and monitor the situation in this country torn apart by a ruthless civil war.
Key features
If that narrative is enough to sell things, crack on. If not, it’ll probably be the key features that help tease open the wallet. And in FRONT MISSION 2: Remake terms, those key features are pretty strong…
- Engaging storyline
- Strategic turn-based combat
- Wanzer customization
- Modernized battle scenes
- Free camera options
- Improved loading speed
- Modern in-game effects
- Renewed soundtrack

There’s more though. In addition to featuring new graphics and reorchestrated music, the game includes a number of gameplay-related improvements; that should mean it is fully tailored to modern needs. Faster loading times and more dynamic animations are in place, ensuring you can enjoy the iconic title that suits modern standards.

And further to that, some brand new content has been added to the Remake version. These include:
- Free Camera option: allowing you to freely hover around the map to gain an even greater overview of your battlefield.
