GungHo Works Announces Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star

PSP remakes of PS1 games seems like a popular thing to do these days, and publisher GungHo Works is not about to let a good thing pass by, announcing a remake of a remake: Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star.

Based on Lunar: Silver Star Story for the PlayStation, which is a port of the Sega Saturn title, which is itself, a remake of Lunar: The Silver Star for the Sega CD, never let it be said that Square Enix is the only publisher that knows how to milk the ports/remakes.

For those of you who inexplicably missed this title, Lunar follows a young man named Alex Noa who leaves his small village in hopes of becoming a hero and adventuring like his hero, the Dragon Master. During his travels, however, Alex and his companions become aware of something much more sinister behind the scenes that somehow involves his childhood friend/adopted sister/love interest, Luna Noa.

This new PSP remake features an updated graphical style with isometric maps, remade sprites, and redone gameplay.

Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star will be available for PSP sometime this Fall in Japan.

Ah, I loved this game on PS1.
