Freedom Wars Remastered Opening Movie Released

Bandai Namco released the opening movie for the upcoming Freedom Wars Remastered.

Freedom Wars was originally released for PlayStation Vita in 2014. The game sees players creating their own character, who is born with a one-million-year sentence, as well as their AI Accessory companion. Players take on various missions seeing with up to three other players or AI-controlled Sinners joining in. The Remastered release will include 4K resolution and 60fps support, plus upgraded textures and streamlined gameplay systems. It will launch on January 10, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
