Taito Announces Lufia I & II for 2027 on PS5, Switch 2, Switch and PC
The original versions of both Lufia games have never been ported for consoles, so this set puts the 1993 and 1995 releases back in circulation in their pixel form with Miyata attached, rather than as another remake.
Reporting from 2 sources: Denfaminicogamer, Automaton.
Taito announced Lufia I & II: The Sinistrals Saga on September 21, planned for 2027 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The package ports the first two Lufia RPGs, developed by Neverland Company and released by Taito in 1993 and 1995, with renewals and added features. Series planner Masahide Miyata and the Taito and Clear River Games production teams sent messages.
Taito's package covers both halves of the series. The first game follows a descendant of the hero Maxim as the Sinistral Gades wakes from his seal; the second puts Maxim himself at the center and depicts the War of the Voids. Both keep their pixel graphics and gain features aimed at easier play.
