While still unannounced by Square Enix, Tactics Ogre Reborn has had yet another round of information leak from PlayStation. First, a “Tactics Ogre Remaster” was mentioned in an infamous nVidia leak, then the PlayStation Store updated with a “Tactics Ogre Reborn” listing that included new artwork. Now, a new listing spotted by PSDeals.net states that the game will launch on November 11, 2022 and include a bevy of new features.

Some of the more notable additions include voice acting, a shift away from a levelling system class levels are shared between all units, an auto-save, and a quicker pace of battles. While the visual style of the sprites and UI have had adjustments, it seems like a lot of the tinkering has been under the hood.

Take a look at what’s new:

Game Features

• A tactical role-playing game depicting the struggle for control of the Valerian Isles.
• Your choices affect how the story unfolds, and even how it ends, with a game system that allows for multiple paths through the game and multiple endings. The story takes place through the eyes of a young man named Denam. The decisions he makes will alter the fate of those around him, and shift the course of Valeria’s history.
• Fight pitched tactical battles on three-dimensional battlefields. The completely revamped AI enables enemies to adapt their tactics to the situation, providing a battle system that always keeps you thinking and never grows old.
• The class-wide level management system used in Tactics Ogre (2010) has changed to a unit-by-unit level system. Theorycraft your way through endless combinations of classes, equipment, skills, and magic.
• Enjoy numerous playability improvements, such as a quicker pace of battle, auto save, and a complete overhaul to the controls and UI to make it easier to get into the game than ever.
• The unparalleled details of the characters and backgrounds from the original Tactics Ogre (1995) have been painstakingly recreated in high definition.
• The cutscenes are fully voiced in English and Japanese, and all of the music has been rerecorded with live performances! The voices bring new life to the complex motivations of the characters that make up the factions and shifting political alliances of this epic story.
• When you advance far enough in the game you’ll unlock the World Tarot, enabling you to travel back in the story with the power of your forces intact; an incredibly useful feature in a game where your choices have such a huge impact on how the story unfolds. If you wonder what a different choice would have led to, now you can find out!
• Traveling back isn’t limited to the story; the Chariot Tarot lets you rewind up to a certain number of moves during battle. In a game of tactical battles where a single mistake can mean the difference between victory and defeat, you can play without worrying that you’ll back yourself into a corner.
• Enjoy a wealth of endgame content such as the 100-level Palace of the Dead.
