PS Vita Exclusive Receives Unexpected Remaster, With a Twist

As the PlayStation Vita fades into the annals of gaming history, a few of its cherished titles have found new life on today’s platforms. One such game, the 2012 action RPG “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny,” is set to receive a remaster in the near future. Interestingly, this will be the game’s debut in the Western market, but it won’t be gracing any PlayStation consoles this time around, despite originally being exclusive to the now-defunct handheld.

### Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered Heads to New Platforms

Renamed as “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered,” this once PS Vita exclusive is slated for release on Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam on May 22. Following the trend of many remasters, it’s poised to bring this decade-old gem into the present with updated graphics, a revamped user interface, enriched gameplay mechanics, and, for the first time, English localization.

The remaster will also boast several enhancements designed to streamline the gaming experience. Players can look forward to improvements in tuning, mission selection, and a convenient lock-on feature. Don’t miss the trailer below, which offers a sneak peek into this revamped cult classic.

For those eager to dive into the experience, you’ll play as a soldier navigating uncertain times, aligning yourself with one of three factions—Earth Alliance, Z.A.F.T, or Archangel. You’ll participate in missions inspired by pivotal scenes from “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED,” “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny,” and even spin-offs like “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray” and “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER.” With a roster of over 100 mobile suits, there’s plenty of room to customize your mechs for dynamic and exhilarating Gundam skirmishes.

If you’re a PlayStation fan who also owns a Nintendo Switch or gaming PC, you’re in luck. Preorders for the PC version are currently underway, while preorders for the Switch will open soon.
