Back then, Sting released the game solely onWonderSwan Colorplatforms in Japan on July 12, 2002.
Oh, Sting didnt stop there, either.
Get ready for a high-definition remastered version ofRiviera: The Promised Land.
This was the first entry in theDept.
And quite honestly, among the few authentic cult classic RPGs well ahead of their time.
Come along on ourRiviera: The Promised Land Remastered Everything We Know to find out.
What is Riviera: The Promised Land Remaster?
Riviera: The Promised Landis a cult classic RPG released in 2002 as the first entry in theDept.
Thereafter, developer Sting shifted focus to other episodes in the series.
The announcement marks the 21st anniversary since the game first aired.
So, definitely, the graphics and gameplay are a tad bit rusty to play now.
Story
Riviera: The Promised Landtakes place on a floating island called Riviera.
Courtesy of Gematsu,Riviera: The Promised Land Remasterwill restore the original characters fans grew to love.
The journey to fulfilling the mission will be filled with nostalgic moments.
Fans will meet their favorite characters and enjoy compelling stories throughout their playthrough.
All along, journeying across an immersive, fantastic world of Riviera.
In addition, they plan to feature an extended storyline with more than 50 reworked cutscenes.
As well as fully voiced audio and dual language, we presume will likely be Japanese and English.
Also, the remastered version will have HD quality featuring improved graphics.
However, if were to speculate, perhapsRiviera: The Promised Land Remasterwill maintain the original unique exploration system.
See, rather than freely roam around an open world; the original featured a point-and-click system.
A compelling and creative plot backed it up.
If the cogs on the remaster run smoothly, perhaps newcomers will find their haven here, too.
