NIS America has confirmed that GrimGrimoire OnceMore, a remastered version of the PlayStation 2 real-time strategy game developed by Vanillaware, will be coming to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in spring 2023 in the west for the first time. The game will feature both English and Japanese audio, and the announcement was confirmed during the 2022 NIS North America showcase.Â
Explore the Magical World of GrimGrimoire OnceMore!
The original GrimGrimoire was developed by Vanillaware and published by Nippon Ichi Software and Koei in 20027 for the PlayStation 2, and rereleased for the PlayStation 4 and Switch on July 28, 2022, in Japan only. This will mark the first time the game is available on PlayStation 5.
The game is also the second game for the Nintendo Switch system by VanillaWare, the first being 13 Sentinals: Aegis Rim, released in November of 2019.
The summary of the game is as follows:
Join aspiring mage Lillet Blan on her journey within the Silver Star Tower, a renowned academy for magicians. All is not what it seems inside the tower walls—mysteries, monsters, and menaces lurk about. Harness the power of magic to dispel the secrets hidden within the tower and discover the truth of the Silver Star Tower once more!
Some of the game’s key features include a beautifully drawn, storybook-like art style in a magical fantasy setting, with intense real-time strategy elements. GrimGrimoire OnceMore also expands on the PlayStation original with a brand new skill tree, improved user interface, and an art gallery.
Pre-orders for the $89.99 limited edition are now available at NIS America Online Store. In it, players will find a copy of the Deluxe Edition, a hardcover art book, a two-disc soundtrack, a cloth poster, an acrylic display, a set of four keychains, a set of five art cards, and a collector’s box.
