Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster Launches On Nintendo Switch 2 This June

On Nintendo’s handhelds, Bravely Default has remained a staple for the platform. “Outside of the very repetitive structure for the story, and the combat heavy nature of the games core design, Bravely Default II is still a fantastic throwback. Rich story, great characters, top notch sound and visual design complement the intense and engrossing combat mechanics. An ode to the RPG’s of yesterday, while also moving them forward into the modern landscape in a big way,” our review for the sequel on Nintendo Switch said.

Other titles of the same vein also came to the platform. More recently with releases such as Triangle Strategy & Octopath Traveler II, there is plenty to explore. However, there was still hope that the original Nintendo 3DS release would be supported on newer hardware. In 2022, producer Tomoya Asano did hint that a new version could be on the way for the title.

From the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on Wednesday, Square Enix announces Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is coming later this June to launch with the new console. You can watch the new trailer in the video below:

“Follow four Warriors of Light on a journey to restore the elemental crystals in the HD remaster of the Nintendo 3DS RPG masterpiece, BRAVELY DEFAULT. Experience an RPG that brings new depth to classic, turn-based battles with the introduction of the “Brave & Default” system – featuring an array of options to customize your characters with over 20 unique jobs.”

The press release description adds: “The game also includes quality of life updates and two new minigames that leverage the dual mouse controls of Nintendo Switch 2.” Just recently Square Enix just issued a surprise release for modern hardware with SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered.
