The remake of Capcom’s NES classic Bionic Commando is nearing the end of its development cycle and will be available for purchase via digital distribution “soon,” according to Creative Director, Simon Viklund.

"The final date for completing Bionic Commando Rearmed is closing in - we're stabilising the game and polishing all the details now, and soon this product of almost a year of late nights and hard work will ship to a digital distribution channel near you!” commented Viklund.

"Within weeks we will see with sad eyes how it leaves to enter the approval process."

He also hinted that the team would jump at the possibility of tackling another retro classic, adding, "Needless to say we've already started dreaming about what retro project we could do next if the opportunity should arise.”

"There's this passion for the old gaming heritage within the team - and out there in the gaming community too, as made obvious by the overwhelming reception that news of BCR has gotten - that make us dare have these dreams."

Bionic Commando Rearmed will be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
