Publisher Square Enix has announced the launch of ActRaiser Renaissance today, available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, smartphone devices, and Windows via Steam.

The HD remake reimagines developer Quintet's Super Nintendo platformer, first published in 1990 by Enix. Renaissance alternates between 2D platforming, hack-and-slash gameplay segments and town-building simulation sequences. The game's score features fifteen new music tracks, as well as arranged compositions, by series composer Yuzo Koshiro.

A music player can be selected from the title screen, allowing for playback of all the "Classic" and "Remake" tracks after they are first encountered in the game. Actraiser's 16-bit Super Nintendo score is streaming on Apple Music, under the title "Yuzo Koshiro Best Selection, Vol. 1." French label Wayô Records' "ActRaiser Soundtrack & Symphonic Suite" ships on vinyl and compact disc.
