R-Type Delta: HD Boosted announced for release in November

A PlayStation classic returns. The shoot ’em up R-Type Delta: HD Boosted was announced with a PC release coming in November.

Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation 1, this new version of the game will have various enhancements for modern platforms. Plus it will no doubt work just fine on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck thanks to Proton.

I’m just happy we’re seeing so many more retro games get spruced up for modern audiences, making them feel better and easy to access.

Updated to run at a smooth 60 FPS and with the option to dynamically switch between the original graphics and HD visuals at the start of each gaming session, R-Type Delta HD Boosted features numerous options and new additions catering to modern gamers. The much-loved soundtrack has received a refresh,with newly-arranged compositions from Masahiko Ishida (R-Type II), as well as USP (R-Type Delta) and Chris Hülsbeck (R-Type for C64 and Amiga). There is also an option to adjust the screen size, and multiple difficult settings alongside an all-new practice mode provide players the opportunity to hone their skills before facing down the Bydo Empire for real.
