Limited Run Games is teaming up with Square Enix to release Fighting Force Collection and Fear Effect in 2025. These titles will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Fighting Force was developed by Core Design and released for PC in October 1997, followed by the original PlayStation the following month. A Nintendo 64 version was released in June 1999. The sequel, Fighting Force 2, was released in December 1999 for PlayStation and SEGA Dreamcast. Fighting Force Collection will feature both of these games.
Fear Effect launched in February 2000 for PlayStation. The upcoming release is the first time the original game has been ported to modern platforms, nearly 25 years after the initial release.
Here’s an overview of the upcoming titles, alongside their respective reveal trailers, via Limited Run Games:
Who doesn’t love a good brawler? In Fighting Force, you and up two three friends have a simple, four step strategy: break things, get weapons, use those weapons to pummel people, and repeat as needed. It’s straightforward streetside carnage with a 3D flair, coming home to you in 2025 care of Limited Run Games.
A lost classic finally returns. Fear Effect challenged assumptions on game aesthetics and art style when it debuted on PlayStation, and decades later its extraordinary blend of cell-shading and motion video still dazzles the eye… and the mind. Gunplay and magic meet in this groundbreaking action/adventure coming to a console near you in 2025.
