Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles launched to mediocre reviews on the PS1 back in 2000, but never let anybody tell you that remasters are only for the bonafide classics. Aspyr Media, the same studio which ported Republic Commando, Knights of the Old Republic, and Battlefront to modern platforms is doing the same for the Phantom Menace tie-in, complete with a set of fixes for some 24-year-old lightsaber color issues.
The Jedi Power Battles remaster launches on January 23, 2025 across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam. As noted in a PlayStation Blog post, the new edition boasts higher-resolution visuals and a small handful of gameplay tweaks - like not forcing you to unlock secret characters and levels. The game is based on the expanded and improved Dreamcast version, but preserves elements of the original PlayStation UI for the best of both worlds.
