One of Square Enix's less than critically acclaimed games is The Last Remnant. Most PlayStation aficionados might be unaware of this title's existence, granted that the PS3 version never saw the light of day back in 2009. The JRPG later made its debut on Steam, although Square Enix pulled the game in September. Now, the publisher has revealed The Last Remnant Remastered, coming to PS4. Check out the above teaser.
This latest announcement might answer why the game is no longer available to purchase for PC. However, the remastered version has only been announced to release on 6th December this year in Japan. It is unknown if an English version will come to the West.
Are you looking forward to the remastered version? Unbound your thoughts on the comments below.
Update: The Last Remnant Remastered has been announced for the West too. It'll release in all regions on 6th December 2018.

sweet, i hope it comes out here
I think this game was one of the most requested games in Japan for many years in a row. Hope it does well.
This came out of left field, I was going to pick it up again on steam before they pulled it but this is a great surprise.
Played it on 360 but had such a big backlog I didn't get back to it, will pick this up for sure if it gets an English release.
I adopted this early on the XBox 360, got so into it I ended up helping compile walkthroughs because the achievements were notoriously tough and lots of gamers needed help. Took me 33 days to get the full 1000/1000 score.
Whilst I'm an avid JRPG fan, and I love Final Fantasy VII, Suikoden and Skies of Arcadia, I rated The Last Remnant higher than those titles. Metacritic 66? This is a game that takes the death of Aeris in Final Fantasy VII and says: sorry about that, this is how we should have done it.
I'm actually more excited to see this hit the UK than any other title now. And I've already got Red Dead Redemption pre-ordered Now please excuse me whilst I fire off a few Tweets to Square Enix to improve the chances of it happening
I'd prefer a remaster of Lost Odyssey on the PlayStation. I loved that game.
I’ll get this if it gets localized.
YES! Not an easy game at all. I hope they change the save system. That last battle was horrible.

This is great news I did wonder why they removed it from Steam, I guess now it makes sense!
This was expected after the delisting. Why remove a game from Steam when you own all the rights to it?
@Spectra Apparently it has all the PC's extra content, wrapped up in a new engine and all that stuff.
@ApostateMage Unfortunately I believe that's a Microsoft IP.
@AnnetteM they just posted the English trailer, it's coming out in December https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sebiun6-doY
Article updated.
Looks promising but in all honesty, I would have much preferred a Lost Odyssey remaster.
Of course they announce it AFTER taking down the Steam port. XD Well, I certainly don't regret the purchase, but I dare fully expect my GPDW to handle the game, so no double-dipping intent here. A Switch version I'd talk, but I'll hardly pick a streamed experience over a direct one, especially in a JRPG.
inb4 I jinx it and the game turns out a chore to handle on GPDW
If they're gonna remaster this, heck...they should remaster the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy too!
@keihtg Yes. You have now reminded me that I need to tackle its platinum.
So we can get crap like this and Star Ocean 4 remastered but we can't get a remake or remaster of Xenogears? Jeez just give the rights to MonolithSoft already!
@AnnetteM Aw yea! I'd be doing the same thing...if I hadn't gotten rid of my PS3 a couple years ago, and if the PC versions didn't run so horribly. That's why I NEED a PS4 remaster!
I bought the game twice on both XB360 and PC, but will gladly double dip again once it hits bargain bin price.
Even though I still haven't actually played it at all LOL.
