In the wake of the golden era of RPGs in the 1990s, it was inevitable that some series would simply fall by the wayside. Not everything could find enduring success like Final Fantasy or Shin Megami Tensei, and beloved RPG franchises simply vanished. One of the biggest casualties of the rush of RPGs was Lunar, a beloved franchise that flourished at first with imaginative games filled with wonderful characters but failed to adapt as audiences moved on. Now the first two Lunar games, a pair of the best RPGs ever made, are making a grand comeback in 2025 with the Lunar Remastered Collection.
Developed by GungHo Entertainment Online, the same company behind the Grandia HD Collection, the Lunar remaster includes Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. Both games have been given a visual overhaul, along with updated sound, faster battles, and a host of other quality-of-life improvements. Interestingly, though, you’ll be able to choose the classic mode for anyone who wants that true original experience.
