Granzella released a new trailer on Friday for its R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos game. The company stated it will reveal the final release date, pricing, platforms, and other details in late September. The game will have a demo at the Tokyo Game Show event from September 25-28 at the Happinet booth.
The sci-fi tactical simulation game was originally slated for release in summer 2023 in the West for PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC via Steam, but Granzella delayed it to fall 2024, and then delayed it again to 2025. The game's latest listed platforms include PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
NIS America will publish the game in English and it describes R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos:
Outsmart and outgun your opponent in R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos, the ultimate turn-based strategy shoot-'em-up collection! This two-game combination of the classic R-Type Tactics titles arrives on modern consoles for the first time, equipped with an armada of unique units to deploy across dozens of levels, all visually realized in Unreal Engine 5. Multiple campaigns allow you to take on the Bydo Empire before playing as them yourself, while competitive online play lets you square off against others.
The first R-Type arcade shooter debuted in 1987. R-Type Final debuted for the PS2 in 2003. R-Type Tactics and the R-Type Tactics II sequel debuted for the PlayStation Portable in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Tozai Games launched R-Type Dimensions, a compilation of the first two R-Type games, on PC via Steam in November 2018.
NIS America launched Granzella's R-Type Final 3 Evolved game for PlayStation 5 in North America and in Europe in April 2023.
Granzella released the R-Type Final 2 sequel game for PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC via Steam worldwide in April 2021.
