Developer Granzella has scheduled R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos for release on March 12th of 2026 in Japan. The sci-fi tactical simulation game will launch for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PS4 and PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles, along with Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Lead game designer Kazuma Kujo launched the crowdfunding campaign for additional content production, targeting a total of 24 new missions, with voiceover support for the new contents' logbook.

Developed by Irem, R-Type Tactics for PlayStation Portable saw an English-language release in 2008 under the title "R-Type Command." R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate arrived in Japan the following year, featuring familiar spacefaring units from the franchise, including trans-dimensional fighters, space battleships, and Bydo weapons. Music for both games is by Yuki Iwai.

R-TYPE TACTICS I • II COSMOS Limited Edition and R-Type Final 3 Evolved Special Edition are available for shipping from the NIS Online Store.
