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.
