by Rainier on Sept. 6, 2024 @ 9:32 a.m. PDT

R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos combines the side-scrolling shoot 'em up action the series is known for with tactical turn-based strategy for a unique R-Type experience!

As the Bydo continue to attempt to wipe out humanity, they must be outwitted and outmaneuvered if the Space Corps is to have any chance of victory. That is, until you realize you're fighting alongside the very forces you were meant to destroy...

Redeveloped with Unreal Engine 5, this collection of two games is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC, with R-Type Tactics II also making its western debut! Making its debut on modern consoles, this collection of two games comes with revamped visuals, online play, multiple campaigns, and branching missions!

You can use your forces in multiple campaigns and play as both Space Corps and Bydo. You can also compete online to see who is the ultimate tactician. With hundreds of ships and levels to choose from in both games, as well as branching missions and a new third campaign (all exclusive to R-Type Tactics II), R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is packed with superior content!

Originally planned for Summer 2023, then delayed until 2024, Granzella revealed that R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is pushed back again, now planned for 2025.

Key Features:

  • New Frontiers: With the debut of R-Type Tactics II in the West, both titles make their way from PSP to modern consoles for the first time!
  • Whose side are you on? Multiple campaigns foreach faction and branching storylines in R-Type Tactics II ensure a unique gameplay experience across both titles, while exploring the world of R-Type and the origins of the sinister Bydo Empire.
  • Crush the competition: Compete against other players online in both R-Type Tactics I and R-Type Tactics II!
  • An Unreal Makeover: Both titles have been remastered with Unreal Engine 5 to create a strategically and visually immersive collection!

R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam) in 2025.
