It has been announced that acclaimed Sega Saturn titles Panzer Dragoon I and II are to be remade.

SEGA is to partner with Forever Entertainment to remake Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, which were initially released for the Sega Saturn in 1995 and 1996 respectively.

Forever Entertainment has promised that the two shooting games, which distinguish themselves from other titles in the same genre by mounting the player atop a flying dragon, will be remade with graphics “compatible with today’s standards”.

The developers have also announced “several modifications of the game, making it more attractive to modern players, while remaining faithful to the original in terms of story”, which may perhaps be taken as an indication that there will be significant changes to the control system, and perhaps even basic gameplay.

The remakes are currently scheduled for release in 2019.
