After months of leaks, Square Enix’s Tactics Ogre Remake has officially been confirmed, and fans of tactical RPGs are now in heaven. Heading to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC – there’s no mention of any Xbox platform. Tactics Ogre Remake is an updated version of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together | Ogre Battle Saga Wiki | Fandom, which was released for the Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation Portable.
According to the official website, Tactics Ogre will “features improved graphics and sound, as well as updated game design, bringing to life a new Tactics Ogre that remains true to its roots.” I have to say that I missed out on this game the first time around as I didn’t own a PSP. But I simply adored Final Fantasy Tactics, so I’ll definitely be checking this out.
