Get ready, gamers! The HD remaster of the classic shoot 'em up, R-Type Delta HD Boosted, is set to be released on November 20. This exciting reboot of the 1998 PlayStation game promises to deliver a modern twist on a beloved retro title.

For many fans, R-Type Delta is often regarded as the best game in the series. Known for its ingenious level design, a series hallmark, the game offers all the modern features for classic retro shmups. The game blends 2D and 3D gameplay effectively, providing an immersive and engaging experience.

The remaster brings several significant improvements. High-definition remastered visuals sharpen the polygonal edges of the original 3D graphics, making them "sharp enough to cut glass." The game now boasts smooth 60 frames per second gameplay, significantly improving the original frame rate for fluid action.

One of the standout features is the ability to dynamically switch between the original graphics and the new HD visuals at the start of each gaming session, giving players a choice of visual style. Screen resizing options are also available, allowing players to adjust the screen size for a customized play experience.

A new practice mode has been added to help players hone their skills before tackling the main game. The remastered soundtrack, composed by artists who have worked on previous R-Type titles, provides a refreshed and enhanced audio experience. Multiple difficulty settings accommodate various player skill levels.

The game includes three selectable ships – the R-9A2, RX-10, R-13A, and Pow Armor, which can be piloted once certain conditions are met. The remaster retains the classic Force mechanic from the original game.

R-Type Delta HD Boosted will be available on multiple platforms: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, releasing digitally on November 20, 2025, with physical editions for Nintendo Switch and PS5.
