The last, Panzer Dragon Orta, was released in 2002 for the original Xbox console.Īll the games, baring the Panzer Dragon Saga, follow the same formula and are ‘on-rail’ shooters. Originally released in 1995, Panzer Dragoon was the first entry in a series that spanned four games in total.

The likes of Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop, Guardian Heroes and the subject of this remake, Panzer Dragoon.

However, there are a few that have stood the test of time. It’s not exactly a console well known for great titles. Panzer Dragoon series creator Yukio Futatsugi released a spiritual successor, Crimson Dragon, for Xbox One in 2013.There weren’t many games that came out on the Saturn that can be called ‘classic’.

The first two Panzer Dragoon games, both rail shooters, were released for Sega Saturn in 19. That’s not as unusual as it might sound, as a number of Sega-owned properties in development are being created with seemingly little involvement from Sega itself - the Deep Silver-published Shenmue 3 and DotEmu-published Streets of Rage 4, for example. When we reached out to Sega for additional info, a representative for Sega of America referred us to Forever Entertainment, saying it wasn’t involved in the project. The company promises “completely new graphics compatible with today’s standards and several modifications of the game, making it more attractive to modern players, while remaining faithful to the original in terms of story.”īeyond that, there are no further details about what to expect Forever Entertainment didn’t announce platforms or a developer. The first of those products, titled Panzer Dragoon: Remake, is expected to arrive sometime in 2019.įorever Entertainment’s announcement calls the games “refreshed version” of the Panzer Dragoon games. The first two Panzer Dragoon games, Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei, are being remade by Polish publisher Forever Entertainment, according to an official announcement from the company.
