The most recent Sony State of Play had its fair share of surprises. The most unexpected announcement was for the Lunar Remastered Collection. The beloved JRPG series will finally see Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete remastered for modern consoles. Yes, another surprise followed the announcement after the State of Play: Lunar Remastered Collection will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Steam in addition to PlayStation 4 and 5.
The Lunar series is incredibly well-loved, but has a slightly rocky history. Lunar: The Silver Star and its sequel, Lunar: Eternal Blue, were originally released in the early 1990’s on the Sega CD in Japan. They were remade as Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete for the PlayStation, and received English releases to boot. These games, featuring a charming 90’s anime aesthetic, have a strong fan following, but their spin-offs were not as well-received.
