Set in a dystopian future where the world is ravaged by pollution and its natural resources depleted, Freedom Wars finds humanity surviving in prison complexes known as Panopticons. Those that are born into this hellscape are labelled Sinners, and players must attempt to gain freedom by volunteering for combat operations against other Panopticons for valuable resources.
The director of the original Freedom Wars, Takashi Tsukamoto, commented via the Japanese PlayStation Blog:
We’ve wanted to make a sequel ever since the game was released 10 years ago, but the opportunity never came up. This time, we were fortunate enough to have an opportunity, and with Bandai Namco Entertainment producing while we develop, and with it being the 10th anniversary, the timing was right to do something.
Freedom Wars Remastered is out on January 10, 2025 for PS5, PS4, PC, and Switch.
