After months of rumors and leaks, Tactics Ogre: Reborn has been officially announced by Square Enix for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC coming November 11, 2022.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a remake and reimagining of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, originally released in Japan in 1995 for the Super Famicom, and 1998 in the U.S. for the PlayStation.
Synopsis
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is set in The Valerian Isles, jewels of the Obero Sea. Following many years of conflict, there finally rose a man to put an end to this: Dorgalua Oberyth. Known as the “Dynast-King,” he brought peace and prosperity to Valeria for half a century. After his death, a civil war erupts and throws the isles of Valeria into a bloody struggle for power between three warring factions. In Tactics Ogre: Reborn, players follow the story of a young man, Denam Pavel, caught in the center of the bloodshed. Although he seeks a path of freedom and justice, players will soon discover that even the noblest of goals requires impossibly difficult decisions to be made.
