In 2020, a remake of Sega’s Panzer Dragoon was released on modern consoles by Forever Entertainment. Now, a remake of Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei is on the horizon from Forever Entertainment and developers MegaPixel Studio and Storm Trident. It may even be coming sooner than expected.
Gematsu shared the announcement that Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei: Remake will make its public debut September 25-28 at the Rainy Frog booth at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show. The publisher didn’t share a release date, but the game will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei was originally released in 1996 on Sega Saturn as a prequel to the first game. Players assume control of Jaen Jaqeue Lundi, a young man who defies convention by raising and training a dragon named Lagi. The dragon is the players’ means of transport and their primary weapon in the game, as Lagi and Jaen face an onslaught of deadly enemies while uncovering secrets of lost civilizations.
Like the original, Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei: Remake will be a rail shooter. It will also have some modern touches, including branching routes and an evolution of Lagi’s powers that depends upon players’ performance and play style. Additionally, players can utilize a berserk attack and replay mission variants after the campaign is finished.
Fans who buy Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei: Remake will have the option of choosing between classic and modern controls. The game will also feature modernized graphics as well as a remastered version of the soundtrack included alongside the original score.
