Clear River Games Brings 1995 RPG Terranigma to US in Early 2027

3 articles · Updated · Polygon · Aug 25

Summary

  • Early 2027 will mark Terranigma’s first official North American release, with Clear River Games launching the remastered action-RPG as Terranigma — Rebirth.
  • The 1995 Super NES title never reached the U.S. after Enix’s American subsidiary shut before its planned English release more than 30 years ago.
  • Clear River has confirmed versions for Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X, but has detailed only quality-of-life updates and bonus features.
  • The remaster will keep the original pixel art rather than adopt Square Enix’s HD-2D style, reviving Quintet’s cult classic about Ark restoring a decaying world.
