R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos Brings 137 Missions to All Platforms in March 2026

The classic R-Type strategy spinoffs are finally getting the definitive treatment they deserve. Granzella has confirmed that R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos launches March 12, 2026 across all major platforms, bringing one of the most underrated tactical series back into the spotlight.

This comprehensive package brings together both PSP originals—R-Type Tactics (57 missions) and R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate (68 missions)—alongside 12 brand new Cosmos scenarios exclusive to this release. That's 137 missions of fleet-based tactical combat set in the iconic R-Type universe, now fully rebuilt for modern hardware.

Fleet Command Strategy

Unlike the mainline R-Type shooters, the Tactics series puts players in command of entire fleets rather than a single ship. The gameplay revolves around hex-based battlefields where careful positioning and resource management determine victory. Scout enemy positions to reveal their formations, deploy your units strategically to exploit terrain advantages, and leverage electronic warfare tactics to disable enemy systems before they can retaliate.

Combat sequences feature fully rendered 3D unit animations that showcase the detailed mechanical designs the series is known for. Every engagement plays out with dramatic flair, bringing the Bydo War to life in a way the original PSP hardware could never achieve. Progression follows the protagonist through their personal logbook entries, weaving narrative threads between tactical encounters.

Two Complete Campaigns Remastered

The original R-Type Tactics introduced players to this tactical interpretation of the franchise with 57 missions spanning multiple theaters of the Bydo conflict. Operation Bitter Chocolate continued the story with 68 additional missions, expanding the unit roster and introducing more complex strategic scenarios. Both campaigns have been fully remastered with enhanced visuals, improved UI, and quality-of-life updates that make the dense tactical systems more accessible without sacrificing depth.

The 12 new Cosmos scenarios exclusive to this collection bridge gaps in the existing narratives while introducing fresh tactical challenges designed around the enhanced capabilities of the remake.

Platform and Language Support

The launch lineup includes Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Granzella has committed to extensive localization support with text in English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. Voice options include both English and Japanese audio tracks.
