Originally released on November 30, 2022, Front Mission 1st: Remake is a remake of the PS1 title Front Mission 1st.

Here’s an overview of Front Mission 1st: Remake from Microids:
- About
Play as a member of the O.C.U. or U.C.S., customize your Wanzer, strategize and use your firepower as well as the terrain to gain an advantage over your opponent. In the year 2090, the world’s conflicts are fought using giant war machines called Wanzers. Huffman Island, the only place where the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) and the Unified Continental States (U.C.S.) share a land border, is a hotbed of conflict. An O.C.U. reconnaissance platoon led by Captain Royd Clive is assigned to investigate a U.C.S. munitions plant. They are ambushed by U.C.S. Wanzers, triggering a series of events that plunges the whole island into war.
On top of the Front Mission 1st: Remake physical edition news, Forever Entertainment also announced today that their remake of the classic Sega arcade game The House of the Dead will be getting a native PS5 port later this month. Stay tuned to Final Weapon for more news.
