2022?s Front Mission 1st: Remake will be getting a free content update (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2399730/view/3994197038596461610?l=english) this year with some pretty swell new features. It?s coming sometime in 2024.
I think what will interest most people about this content update is the arrival of local multiplayer hot-seat skirmishes. I know, I know, it?s not online multiplayer, but the Front Mission series has rarely had multiplayer at all. Considering this is the remake of a 1995 SNES game, and it?s already been available for over a year, it?s sort of remarkable to see.
Beyond just multiplayer, there will be additional single-player scenarios. Surprisingly, ?each carefully crafted to provide a diverse range of challenges and engaging narratives.? ?Narratives,? you say? Again, that?s an interesting addition to a game that already has a sequel and has another announced sequel on the horizon. Normally, I?d expect that they?d just roll such features into one of the games still in production.

On top of that, a new roster of characters will be added. They kind of didn?t elaborate on this, so I don?t know if this is specifically for the new scenarios or if it will be mixed into the main game. I?m guessing the former. Especially since one of the new characters is a commander who will introduce you to the new update and assemble the best possible team of mercenaries.
I really wasn?t expecting Front Mission 1st: Remake to get an update since Front Mission 2: Remake is already out on Switch (https://www.destructoid.com/front-mission-2-remake-puts-on-its-robot-boots-for-october-5-on-switch/). I?ll take it, though, since I sort of dig (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-front-mission-1st-remake-switch/) the Front Mission series. Forever Entertainment seems to really respect it since they? Well, they do things like add free updates. One of my big regrets for 2023 was that I wasn?t able to fit in a review for Front Mission 2: Remake. I planned on it, but life got in the way.
Front Mission 1st: Remake is available on Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The aforementioned update will arrive sometime in 2024.
