Remember when RPGs came on cartridges and floppy disks and you had to squint at pixel text for hours? Well, Edia is bringing back a piece of that history. The company has announced Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I & II, an RPG collection headed to PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC.
If you're not familiar with the name, here's the quick version: Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes is a classic Japanese RPG series that started way back in the day. This collection bundles the first two entries together, giving modern players a chance to experience where the Legend of Heroes saga began.
The announcement comes from Edia, a company that's been busy reviving classic Japanese games for modern hardware. The collection is confirmed for four platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. That's a pretty wide net, so whether you're a console loyalist or a PC-only player, you'll have a way to jump in.
What's interesting here is the timing. The Legend of Heroes series has grown into a massive franchise over the years, with the Trails games building a dedicated following in the West. But the original Dragon Slayer entries are the foundation everything else was built on. For longtime fans, this is a chance to see the roots. For newcomers, it's a history lesson wrapped in an RPG collection.
Details beyond the platforms are still slim at this point. We don't have a release date, pricing, or confirmation on whether these are straight ports or enhanced versions with quality-of-life improvements. Edia hasn't shared that yet, so keep your expectations in check until more info drops.
Still, the fact that these classic RPGs are getting a multiplatform release at all is notable. It means the series' origins won't be locked to old hardware forever. If you've ever been curious about where The Legend of Heroes came from, this collection could be your entry point.
So, what do you think? Are you excited to revisit the classics, or are you holding out for more details before getting hyped? Will you be picking this up when it launches?
