New entry in the Front Mission series, but not a high-spec version, more a mobile-and-up version. Created by the studio who did Langrisser Mobile, which probably most have not played but apparently is popular in certain circles.
I mean, probably because a normal Front Mission with traditional Square Enix production values (even off-brand production values, at their scale) would sell no better and probably worse than an irregular Front Mission like this might turn out to be.
They're keeping the brand alive, with the remakes of FM 1 and 2 and then this game. Those two are regular, normal Front Mission games, and this one might be too (depending on how BlackJack handle the mechanics and if it's a standard single-player strategy game or if it is a play for the F2P market?) It's just that none of them are actually by Square and none of them will get FFXV-level of production investment. Pray for these releases to be good, not for them to not exist, that'd be my recommendation, because it'd be plenty easy for Square to let this franchise not exist.
