Limited Run Games announced as part oftheir LRG3 streamthat they will be localizingAssault Suit Leynos 2for the first time in North America. This looks like they’ll be publishing a translated version ofAssault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tribute, which released in Japan earlier this year.
Assault Suit Leynos 2is the third game in theAssault Suitseries. In the West, we’d remember the first two games asTarget EarthandCybernator, but were actuallyAssault Suit LeynosandAssault Suits Valken, respectively. It’s part of a series of sci-fi mech games. I’ve talked aboutCybernator/Assault Suits Valkenabout a jillion times here on Destructoid. The series has seen something of a Western resurgence.
WhileAssault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tributeis largely a port of the Sega Saturn version of the game, quality-of-life features have been added, such as saving, loading, a rewinding. There are also option difficulty adjustments.
More importantly, we never gotLeynos 2in English. OurAssault Suitcollection has been incomplete. This will bring us one step closer. Then the only thing missing isAssault Suits Valken 2, which is weirdly very similar to theFront Missionseries. But then,Front Mission: Gun Hazardis extremely similar toAssault Suits Valken(because most of the staff is the same). So really, they were just returning the favor.
But seriously, somebody translate and re-releaseValken 2.
Assault Suit Leynos 2 Saturn Tributeis out in North America sometime later in 2024. It’s coming to PS4, PS5, and Switch.
