Alright, fellow gamers, buckle up—Inti Creates just dropped a juicy announcement to kick off 2025! They’re bringing us the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced collection, hitting the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 on July 24, 2025. This isn’t just a lazy repackaging of old titles; it’s being billed as the “most complete final version” of the trilogy, and honestly, I’m hyped to dive back into this electrifying series.
So, what’s in the package? You’re getting the full lineup: Azure Striker Gunvolt from 2014, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 from 2016, and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 from 2022—plus all the DLC that’s ever dropped for these games. If you’ve never played, imagine fast-paced, Mega Man Zero-style action with a slick anime vibe and a protagonist who zaps foes with lightning. For veterans like me who’ve sunk hours into the originals, this isn’t just a nostalgia grab. Inti Creates has gone in and polished the action—smoother gameplay, tighter controls, the works. They’ve even spruced up the music, which was already a banger soundtrack to begin with.
But here’s where it gets extra cool. They’ve added some neat bonuses to sweeten the deal. There’s a Library mode now, letting you dig into certain items and lore without grinding through missions. And get this—you can listen to “live novel” dialog during gameplay, like an audio drama unfolding as you blast enemies. Oh, and for the audio junkies (guilty as charged), they’ve packed in 37 vocal tracks from the “Muses”—those iconic in-game singers who’ve been stuck in my head since the first game. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you feel like you’re living in the Gunvolt universe.
From what I’ve gathered digging around online—and yeah, I checked X posts and Inti Creates’ official channels—this isn’t some half-baked cash-in. The team’s been teasing this as their definitive love letter to the series. Back in the day, I remember playing the original on my 3DS, dodging bullets and cursing those tricky bosses. Seeing it evolve over the years into this trilogy, and now getting an enhanced version? Feels like a victory lap for fans.
If you’re new to the series, this is the perfect entry point—no need to hunt down old versions or DLC separately. And if you’re a longtime fan, these upgrades might just tempt you to replay it all over again. Mark your calendars for July 24, 2025, because the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced is shaping up to be a must-have for action game junkies like us.
