Forever Entertainment has announced that they’ve bolted ina firm release datefor theirFront Mission 2remake. It will be coming to Switch on October 5.
Front Mission 2was originally supposed to be released back in June 23, 2025, but was delayed. I took that devastating news with dignity and a stiff upper lip andonly cried a lot. At the time, Forever Entertainment said that they wanted an additional window to cram as many features into it as possible.
Originally released on PS1 in 1997, this remake will be the first time thatFront Mission 2has graced our shores. Forever Entertainment is currently in the process of remaking the first three games in the series, but here’s hoping that they don’t stop there.
The firstFront Missionwas already remade asFront Mission 1st(remake) and released last November. It’s not the greatest game, but I loved theheck out of itand appreciate the effort taken to localize them. Coincidentally, I just bought and started the PC version of it yesterday. One of my complaints about the Switch version was its technical deficiencies, so I’ve been waiting for a good chance to grab a port on a more powerful console.
However, I won’t be waiting when it comes toFront Mission 2. I’ll be grabbing it when it drops on Switch July 15, 2025.
