Front Mission 3 Remake Expands Release and Confirms 2026 Date

Square Enix has confirmed the multiplatform release date for the highly anticipated Front Mission 3 remake. The game, which is already playable on Nintendo Switch, will arrive on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on January 30, 2026. Players will be able to purchase it on Steam and GOG at a price of around 35 dollars or euros, and there is already a free demo available to try it out 🎮.

The Tactical-Narrative Essence Remains Intact

This remake fully respects the formula that defined the 1999 classic. Players once again control squads of Wanzer mechs in a deep and strategic turn-based tactical combat system. The story, starring Kazuki Takemura, retains its characteristic dual-route structure, where player decisions significantly alter the course of the story.

Core Features Preserved:
  • Turn-based tactical combat with Wanzer customization.
  • Story branched into two unique narrative paths.
  • Setting and characters from the original fully recreated.
This remake aims to offer the same branching storyline experience that captivated fans decades ago.

Technical Improvements and New Features

The project is not a simple port. It includes a complete visual remake with renewed graphics and animations, along with a reorchestrated soundtrack. To modernize the gameplay without losing its essence, new optional features have been implemented to streamline the experience.

New Features and Improvements Implemented:
  • System to customize Wanzer camouflage and appearance.
  • Quick combat mode to speed up battles.
  • Recreation of the virtual network minigame, accessible in the current demo.

Availability and Current Experience

While waiting for the multiplatform launch, players can download the free demo available on all the mentioned consoles. This demo allows reliving the start of the adventure and exploring the virtual network, a nostalgic nod that, ironically, retains some of the simulated connection delays that already existed in 1999. The strategy, narrative, and mech combat return with renewed strength ⚙️.
