Forever Entertainment, the team behind the recently released Panzer Dragoon: Remake on Xbox One, has signed a deal with Square Enix to create several remakes in the future.
According to a translated report from Pap Bizness, an agreement has been made between the two companies for more remakes to be developed over the coming years based on a single brand by a Japanese company. The first remake is set to be announced in the future.
"Forever Entertainment has signed an agreement with Square Enix to create and release several remakes of games based on a single brand owned by a Japanese company, Forever Entertainment said in a press release. The company's share price is rising by more than 10%.
The name of the game, on the basis of which the Polish company is to create a so-called remake, is to be made public with a separate report, at the start of the global marketing action."
The game in question is said to feature a new graphic design, but its gameplay will remain similar to its original release. It's also said that Forever Entertainment will receive 50% of the profits made on each title going forward.
Wonder what it could be?
Are you excited to see what the two companies cook up in the future? Let us know in the comments below.

Panzer Dragoon Saga remake please
Parasite Eve please!
One day, I would LOVE to see my beloved Final Fantasy VI, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy Tactics as HD Remakes....CHANGE NOTHING ELSE!!!!
@Trainer a remake of FFVI & Chrono Trigger are probably too important projects to be outsourced to external devs. I honestly prefer SE to remake those titles themselves with beautiful HD2D visuals.
I hope there will be HD ports of games like Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve or Xenogears, but maybe it’s nothing more than Final Fantasy.
Legacy of Kain. Square Enix already remakes Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games on a regular basis. Even the Mana series has been getting the remake treatment. I doubt they'd outsource a remake of Chrono Trigger or something similarly huge much less agree to splitting the profits 50/50. And based on Forever Entertainments work on the Panzer Dragoon Remake and upcoming Zwei Remake, I'd guess they'll be remaking another 3D franchise.
So my guess Legacy of Kain. There's enough games in the series to fit the multiple projects description. The earlier LoK games were also late 90s 3D games. Forever could use everything they learned working on Panzer Dragoon and apply it here. Plus it's a dormant franchise that presents a low risk investment for Square Enix. They don't have to spend anything on the development-side and they can use these remakes to guage interest in a new installment.
If Forever does a bang up job, they'll put themselves into the perfect position to make a new Legacy of Kain game WITH Square Enix fitting the bill on development. At the very least, this would open up more opportunities to remake other neglected Square Enix games.
Or I could be completely off and we're gonna get Compilation of Final Fantasy VII remakes out the wazoo.
"...signed an agreement with Square Enix to create and release several remakes of games based on a single brand owned by a Japanese company..."
Why did they phrase it that way instead of "THE" Japanese company? Is it possible that they're not going to be remaking something from Square-Enix's catalog, but one of the Japanese companies they own, like Taito?
