Tactics Ogre: Reborn launches on PS4 and PS5 on November 11, according to a release date on PS Deals. Many additional details were revealed via this US online store, so fans of the "crown jewel of the tactical role-playing genre" can pencil in a date for this JRPG's 'rebirth'.

Gematsu reported the reveal on the PlayStation Store price-tracking website PS Deals. The website focuses on PlayStation so Tactics Ogre: Reborn could well release on other platforms, but we'll have to wait for official confirmation from Square Enix, or just, you know, wait for more leaks.

PS Deals published fresh details on the game as well as screenshots. Those getting the game on disc on PS4 will be pleased to know that they can get a free PS5 digital version of the game. However, those with the PS5 Digital Edition won't have the same luxury.

Here are all the details in full, from PS Deals:

  • A tactical role-playing game depicting the struggle for control of the Valerian Isles.
  • Your choices affect how the story unfolds, and even how it ends, with a game system that allows for multiple paths through the game and multiple endings. The story takes place through the eyes of a young man named Denam. The decisions he makes will alter the fate of those around him, and shift the course of Valeria's history.
  • Fight pitched tactical battles on three-dimensional battlefields. The completely revamped AI enables enemies to adapt their tactics to the situation, providing a battle system that always keeps you thinking and never grows old.
  • The class-wide level management system used in Tactics Ogre (2010) has changed to a unit-by-unit level system. Theorycraft your way through endless combinations of classes, equipment, skills, and magic.
  • Enjoy numerous playability improvements, such as a quicker pace of battle, auto save, and a complete overhaul to the controls and UI to make it easier to get into the game than ever.
  • The unparalleled details of the characters and backgrounds from the original Tactics Ogre (1995) have been painstakingly recreated in high definition.
  • The cutscenes are fully voiced in English and Japanese, and all of the music has been rerecorded with live performances! The voices bring new life to the complex motivations of the characters that make up the factions and shifting political alliances of this epic story.
  • When you advance far enough in the game you'll unlock the World Tarot, enabling you to travel back in the story with the power of your forces intact; an incredibly useful feature in a game where your choices have such a huge impact on how the story unfolds. If you wonder what a different choice would have led to, now you can find out!
  • Traveling back isn't limited to the story; the Chariot Tarot lets you rewind up to a certain number of moves during battle. In a game of tactical battles where a single mistake can mean the difference between victory and defeat, you can play without worrying that you'll back yourself into a corner.
  • Enjoy a wealth of endgame content such as the 100-level Palace of the Dead.

Square Enix is yet to confirm all this, but we can be pretty sure this is accurate information. Expect Tactics Ogre: Reborn on the PS4 and PS5 in November.
