Publisher GungHo Entertainment has announced that its HD remasters of beloved J-RPGs Grandia 1 and 2 will be heading to PC on 15th October. Additionally, a patch for the Grandia HD Collection on Switch is promised for November.
While Grandia 1 and 2 arrived in a single bundle on Switch, GungHo will be releasing its HD remasters individually on PC. That’s likely connected to the fact that a version of the second game is already available on the platform, in the form of the Grandia 2 Anniversary Edition – and this will be updated and renamed to Grandia 2 HD Remaster come 15th October.
Both PC remasters will feature English and Japanese audio, “enhanced” sprites and texture art, UI improvements, widescreen support, and customisable resolutions. Grandia HD Remaster also brings Steam Achievements, plus controller and keyboard support with remapping.

As part of its PC release date announcement, GungHo also addressed “feedback and comments” regarding the Grandia HD Collection on Switch. The publisher says that a patch will be coming to Nintendo’s console on 12th November – more details will be provided at a later date – and that the PC release will “replicate the same experience”.
