Edia has announced that it has licensed nine classic titles to Shinyuden for release on modern platforms, starting with the launch of Final Zone on January 17, 2025, for the Nintendo Switch. The game will also be released shortly afterward on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. This marks a significant step in bringing retro games to contemporary audiences.
The nine titles licensed for re-release include:
- Dino Land
- Exile
- Exile: Wicked Phenomenon
- Final Zone
- Gaudi: Barcelona no Kaze
- GRIFFIN
- Psycho Dream
- Sol-Deace
- Traysia
Edia’s decision to license these games to Shinyuden is part of a broader strategy to expand its reach into Western markets, where retro gaming has seen a resurgence in popularity. The company is also considering plans to sell reprints or remodeled versions of other retro titles from its catalog of 139 former Telenet Japan games.
Shinyuden’s initiative begins with Final Zone, a top-down action game originally developed by Wolf Team. Fans of retro gaming can look forward to experiencing these classics with potential enhancements for modern platforms, making them accessible to both longtime fans and new players.
