And just like that, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is definitely happening. The (presumably) remastered RPG was trademarked by Square Enix in April, and now it's starting to look like an official reveal is imminent. A game page has appeared on the PlayStation Store, although at the time of writing, there's not much to it. There's no date, no pricing — not even platforms.
All we have right now is some lovely background artwork:
For those unfamiliar, Tactics Ogre was originally a SNES title that was ported to the PS1 in 1997, and then it was remade for PSP over a decade later, in 2010. It's widely regarded as a landmark strategy RPG, and paved the way for the equally excellent Final Fantasy Tactics.
Anyway, if this thing's up on the store, we fully expect Square Enix to wheel out a press release very, very soon. We'll update this article when it happens.

Oh snap! Can't say I expected to see this news tonight!
Absolutely love that SRPGs are having a resurgence lately (or rather, that publishers are finally responding to the demand that has existed for a long time).
Wasn't this part of the Nvidia leak ? If it was man that leak will live in infamy forever .
@PSfanboy1992 It was! Although I think it was listed as 'Tactics Ogre' rather than Tactics Ogre: Reborn. Still this is almost certainly what it was referring to.
Quick! someone tell Colin Moriarty!
@PSfanboy1992 I was about to say. Basically everything has been proven to be legit now. What’s left? Final Fantasy IX Remake?
@nessisonett yeah bro ! Hopefully we see that announced at TGS or something 🤞🏽.
@strawhatcrew lmao yeah man i feel like I just heard him talking about this on one of the latest episodes of SS or SS+.
Final Fantasy Tactics hasn't come onto PS+, so hopefully the Remaster will be announced soon?
@ShogunRok the listing says trigger effect and Game help supported, but also DS4 vibration supported so it must be PS4 and PS5 right?
On god every second the Nvidia leak is looking more and more real. Hopefully that means a PS4/PC port of SMT V is looking more in the cards.
Well I'm 100% picking this up after hearing that this is a top tier Final Fantasy game and the fact that I like stuff like Fire Emblem so tactical games are up my alley.
@Deoxyr1bose I want that to be true, I've heard some of the OST for SMT V and from what I've seen of the gameplay the game seems like it will be an "Experience"!
We should also be looking at this as a sign we may be getting a playstation broadcast possibly later this month/early July?
I would want this
For the Nvidia leak I'm still waiting for titan fall 3,monster hunter 6, dragons dogma 2 and SMT V ps5
@nessisonett @PSfanboy1992 It's mostly just PS games coming to PC. Plus a few big ones like
Is this Let us cling together?
I've never played the original but I'm interested
@GorosBat Could be announced during the Nintendo Direct this month
@nessisonett available in 2079 on PS12 and Xbox series XXXXXXX and Switch 6 after the last episode of Final Fantasy 7R
I presume this is a port of the PSP version.
This and triangle strategy. I do not understand why FF Tactics is not the center piece in all this being it's the biggest tactics game.
Still waiting for FFT2 to this day, and they keep making it illusive. And no, i don't consider the advance games, which were aimed at younger audiences.
@Feena If the art here is from the game, it certainly is.
Let's cling together and wait eagerly for a release date
I really hope squareenix will use 2D-HD engine for this remaster 😃
@nessisonett dragons dogma 2 was on there.
altough perhaps we will finally see that on the aniversary stream for the first game.
@Nem Vandal Hearts > Final Fantasy Tactics. Fight me.
(I do love some FFT though....)
@Nem yeah it certainly seems so! I hope they use that cute 2D-HD style
@Deoxyr1bose Now that Persona is going multiplatform, I think the sky's the limit.
Ugh, I want to like these games. Back when FFTactics: War of the Lions came to PSP I got about 20 hours in and I let a character die because, hey, it's Final Fantasy. I'll just hit them with a Phoenix Down and we'll be good. But turned out, I missed something, or perma-death existed and I kind of died on the inside and put it down. I'll def give one a chance tho
@Jey887 I will disagree with that.
@Feena If it's an actual remake, it would be very easy to reuse assets from triangle strategy. It already looks like an unofficial tactics ogre sequel, so it wouldn't be the biggest project ever.
Best news of the day! I can see a Nintendo Direct around the corner, because it'll definitely sell the most copies on there. All I need is more news on the Front Mission remake and I'm back in trpg heaven after being spoiled with Triangle Strategy.
