Sigma Star Saga DX launches for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam in 2026

WayForward has announced that Sigma Star Saga DX will launch in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). The announcement was made during the Limited Run Games' LRG3 2025 video presentation, alongside the announcement of a seventh mainline Shantae title.

Sigma Star Saga was originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2005. The new DX version of the shoot-'em-up/RPG hybrid includes 'an improved map, decreased random encounter rate, rebalanced EXP system, refined dialogue, additional save points, and assorted bug fixes and quality-of-life updates.'

A new reveal trailer and details can be found below, via WayForward. Information on pre-orders for physical editions is expected at a later time.

A stellar new trailer is now out for Sigma Star Saga DX! This enhanced version of the cult-classic shoot-'em-up/RPG, which was originally released for Game Boy Advance in 2005, is on its way to modern platforms via Limited Run Games' Carbon Engine with porting handled by Mighty Rabbit Studios. Showcasing the game's unique mix of top-down exploration and side-scrolling space-shooter battles, as well as the various tools and 20,000+ weapon combinations players can acquire during their intergalactic infiltration of the Krill Empire, the trailer provides a first look at one of several player-selectable HD border artworks, as well as an early preview of the game's new title song.

Other upgrades to Sigma Star Saga DX compared to the original 2005 version include an improved map, decreased random encounter rate, rebalanced EXP system, refined dialogue, additional save points, and assorted bug fixes and quality-of-life updates (all of which are also included in the previously offered GBA cartridge version). Sigma Star Saga DX is now expected to launch digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam in early 2026, with preorders for the physical Switch and PS5 versions planned for a similar timeframe.
