The Zone of the Enders series has been absent from the spotlight for quite some time, but it seems like the time has come for its comeback.
During today's Sony TGS 2017 Press Conference, it's been confirmed that a Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner remaster, which will be named Anubis Zone of the Enders: Mars, will be released next year on PlayStation 4 and PC, complete with 4K and VR Support. You can check out the game's first trailer right below.
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner has been originally released on PlayStation 2, before getting a remastered version together with the original game.
Zone of the Enders (2001) and Zone of the Enders 2: The 2nd Runner (2003) are the pinnacle of high speed robot action. Imagine hovering in a 360-degree battlefield. You spin your mecha around, lock onto your target, and fire away. Spotting another enemy nearby, you instantly dash over to it and eliminate it with your sword. Your guns and your blade are your weapons against swarms of enemies and massive spacecraft. This is a solid sci-fi world that looks and sounds like no other, a game whose gameplay mechanics can truly be called exhilarating. These are titles so memorable they have gained a passionate fanbase and are still talked about years after their release.
The HD remastering process has made Z.O.E. even more striking, re-igniting the thrills for long-time fans and blowing away those discovering the game for the first time. Either way, players will find a combination of hardcore gameplay and compelling story that has become all too rare in this day and age.
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner will launch on PlayStation 4 and PC next year. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more come in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
