After a year and half without any fresh news, it was starting to look as if Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch for iOS devices might never see the light of day. So we’re pleased to report that the game is alive and well and due to be released later this week.

The game’s official website tells us that this port of the classic RPG title is based on the PlayStation version of Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. This version featured improved animated scenes and new music not featured in the Sega CD original. As of yet it’s not known if Touch will make use of Working Designs’ original translation or if it’s been re-translated for this port.

For those who haven’t already played one of the game’s numerous iterations, it follows Alex, a young boy chosen as heir-apparent to the title of ‘Dragonmaster.’ With a band of motley companions, Alex must pass a set of ancient trials and ultimately save the world from a powerful sorcerer.

The day of release and how much you’ll pay have not yet been announced. Just make sure you keep your iOS device charged and ready yourself to embark on one epic adventure.
