Granzella has launched the Kickstarter campaign for R-Type Final 2. The Kickstarter is looking to raise $416,152 in the next seven days. The game has an estimated release date of December 2020 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.

View the latest trailer of the game below:

Here is an overview of the game:

We are licensed by Irem Software Engineering Inc. and about to make a new title of the legendary side-scrolling shooter game, R-Type.

The psychological tug-of-war with enemies, the unique level designs, and the exhilarating feeling that have been polished up by the franchise will further evolve on a 16:9 widescreen.

We’ll pursue uniqueness of the fighters and coolness of attacks that appeared in R-Type Final. In addition, more customizable elements for fighters will be available. You will be able to change the coloring, types of weapons, and decals.

Sometimes people would say R-Type is “too tough to play.” R-Type Final 2 will make a wider range of difficulty levels available to players with different skill levels. The higher the difficulty level you play, the more points you will gain. This will enable players to compete with R-Type pilots from all over the world.

I'm trying to figure out this R-Type/Irem 2012/No Digital storefront thing, because R-Type Dimensions came out for PS3 in 2014. So was that from a publisher that was neither Irem or the new publisher? I'm going to boot it up ASAP, to see if the game itself contains the information I'm looking for, because the google isn't helping.

That makes sense. Dimensions sure had it's releases spread out on the various systems eh? 2009 on XB360, 2014 on PS3, and 2018 on PS4 and Switch.
