Yet another R-Type game... except in a tactics version! This game is coming out for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch... and also PlayStation 4, it seems. Both R-Type Tactics 1 and 2 were released in the past. They have updated the games with the Unreal Engine 5!
I have been watching this game for awhile... Very curious to see if this game even comes out as the date has been pushed back for a LONG time now.

Release date June 18, 2026 (again, I will believe it once it launches).
Pricing:
Nintendo Switch - $50
PlayStation 5 - $50
PlayStation 4 - $50
Game Details:
- New Frontiers: Along with the debut of R-Type Tactics II in the West, both this title and R-Type Tactics I make their way from the PSP to modern consoles for the first time!
- Whose Side Are You On? Multiple campaigns for each faction, and branching storylines in R-Type Tactics II, allow for a unique gameplay experience across both titles while fleshing out the world of R-Type & the origins of the sinister Bydo Empire
- Destroy the Competition: Face off against other players online in both R-Type Tactics I and R-Type Tactics II!
- An Unreal Makeover: Both titles have been remade using Unreal Engine 5, creating a collection that's both strategically engaging and visually enthralling!
Again, this is a tactics style game, hence the name tactics in the title.

I'm excited for this title. I don't know when I'll pick it up, but it is on the list. Are you excited? What are you pumped for? Thoughts, comments, post it up!
Never knew this existed, it's in the probable column for me

I am there with you, Targetrasp... I remember these games from the PSP days, though never owned them. I remember good things though (hopefully didn't gloss over anything bad lol) :great:
This release is probably going to be shut up and take my money release. There are a few of those right now. Wallet... needs... to be guarded. However, I also don't think (or know) that these type of games will ever go on sale. I think I'd like the PS5 for platinum trophying, but with all this age verification coming, I might lean to the Switch.
Got the ps5 version for the trophy hunt.

I have now pre-ordered as well in hopes for this trophy hunt. One thing I do not know right now... can trophies be completed together in co-op. I'm looking for that information
@targetrasp I just received the email that R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos will be arriving on June 18th. we will see. I have been following this game awhile. It has been pushed back for a long time.
