Spanish video game publication “Generación Xbox” has found out publisher Microsoft has renewed the Lost Odyssey brand and all the licenses related to it.
Mistwalker’s Lost Odyssey was first released at the end of 2007 in Japan exclusively for the Xbox 360 and received a Western version a few months later in February of 2008.
Upon release, the game was praised for many of its visual novel-like story segments but also criticized for its very cookie-cutter approach to turn-based RPG gameplay.
The brand renewal could mean anything, from the company merely preventing expiration of the trademark to a remastered version of the game or even a sequel. Only time will tell what Microsoft’s real intentions are regarding Lost Odyssey.
The combat was bland, and the game took one or two discs to really get going, but the difficulty was tight, and the feels were real. Flawed, but fantastic. I hope they’ll bring it to PC.
It will come to pc. They’ve already tossed out the xbox for it.
Ever since Mistwalker went mobile, I have very little hope for the future of the franchise. Of course, since Microsoft owns the IP, they may be able to get a different (better) studio to work on it.
Didn’t enjoy the gameplay but really liked the characters (and story). Sucks in 2018 (soon 2019) we still don’t have a pc version of Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon yet😒
Unfortunately for Microsoft, lot of people are switching to Linux now thanks to the nightmare that is Windows 10.
Got 2 360s and Kinect, but don’t even want ONE for free. Same goes for OS, owns legal copies of pretty much every MS OS, just not Win 10, again for free.
That, and Steam’s Proton might make things much easier than WINE.
Steam’s Proton already has made things much easier.
All it takes is enabling Steam’s Proton from Settings for all games and you are good.
Most likely a Lost Odyssey HD edition release. The load times should be improved too!
By HD I mean obviously anything up to 4K lol.
Your eyes don’t see a difference between 2k and 4k literally.
Lost Odyssey 4K edition sounds better to the marketing folks than Lost Odyssey 2K for sure. Naturally they’d call it a remaster but thats the only thing that comes to mind with the trademark news. Sega renewed their Shenmue license before releasing their shoddy remasters so..
