Square Enix said this week that it would revive the classic Tactics Ogre series for the PSP.
The game will be a ground-up remake of the Super Famicom game Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. For the revamp Square Enix will bring together a dream team of designers including director Hiroshi Minagawa, character designer Akihiko Yoshida, Vagrant Story’s Yasumi Matsuno and composters Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata.
The sequel to Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre was originally released in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1995. It was later re-released for the Saturn in 1996 and the original Playstation in 1997. Western gamers didn’t get their hands on the game until the North American PlayStation release in 1998.
Square Enix has not announced a release date for the U.S. release of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, but it has launched an official website where you can keep tabs on the game for yourself.
The latest Front Mission game may be aimed at the mainstream, but perhaps Square Enix hasn’t forgotten how many gamers love heady strategy.
