'R-Type Dimensions III' Begins A New Era For The Legendary Shoot ’Em Up, coming to Nintendo Switch/2, PS5, XSX And PC In May 2026 - Screens & Trailer

R-Type Dimensions III is a fully reimagined evolution of one of gaming's most iconic shoot ’em up franchises.

R-Type Dimensions III takes the legacy of the arcade classics R-Type and R-Type II to new heights through cutting-edge graphics, enhanced gameplay, remastered audio, and brand-new features designed for veterans and newcomers alike.

In the distant future, humanity faces its greatest threat: the Bydo Empire, a horrifying bio-mechanical life-form capable of corrupting and absorbing anything it touches. Although humans once created the Bydo as a weapon, the experiment spiraled out of control. Now the Bydo exist beyond normal space and continually attempt to invade human reality. After multiple wars and near-extinction events, the Bydo return once again—stronger, more adaptive, and far more aggressive. To counter this new invasion, the Earth Space Corps develops a cutting-edge fighter: the R-90 Ragnarok, a next-generation R-Type craft.

As the pilot of the R-90, you’re deployed into hostile zones that warp between normal space and the twisted Bydo dimension. Your mission: penetrate deep into enemy territory, dismantle the Bydo’s core networks, and ultimately destroy the heart of the empire before it engulfs humanity completely…

R-Type Dimensions III brings the intensity, precision, and creative enemy design of the arcade originals to a new generation. Every stage, boss, and projectile pattern has been rebuilt with high-end 3D graphics, enhanced animations, and richly detailed environments—while preserving the instantly recognizable atmosphere that defined R-Type’s identity.


Key Features:

  • A full modern rebuild featuring entirely re-created assets
  • Local co-op, now enhanced with new scoring and survival mechanics
  • Advanced Mode unlocked from the start, giving immediate access to deeper challenges
  • Customizable controls and multiple accessibility/comfort options
  • New 3D camera styles, including “normal” and the aptly named “crazy” mode

Physical editions, including a Special Edition and a premium Collector’s Edition will be available for pre-order as of now here at ININGAMES.COM.

R-Type Dimensions III is coming to PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam) in May 2026.
