WayForward has announced that its classic Game Boy Advance title Sigma Star Saga will be getting a new lease on life with a 2025 re-release. While no platforms have been announced, we’d be very surprised if it doesn’t come to Switch.
Sigma Star Saga is a sci-fi RPG and 2D space shooter all in one, coming to modern consoles thanks to the Limited Run Games Carbon Engine.
In 2005, WayForward took players across the galaxy to discover new worlds and alien species. Twenty years later, it’s time to turn the clock back! As revealed at Anime Expo, we’re proud to announce that Sigma Star Saga, the Game Boy Advance sci-fi adventure that combines elements of 2D space shooters and RPGs, is set to return in 2025. Licensed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and powered by Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, this highly sought-after cult classic will be released on modern consoles and PC, as well as on a Game Boy Advance-compatible repro cartridge.
Featuring a unique blend of top-down planetary exploration and side-scrolling shoot-em-up space battles, Sigma Star Saga lets you play as Allied Federation of Earth pilot Ian Recker, who infiltrates the alien Krill Empire as a double agent in a last-ditch effort to save humanity from their onslaught. To do so, you must work alongside both humans and Krill, explore six planets using an ever-expanding set of tools and abilities, and jump into the cockpit to engage enemy forces in intense shmup-style combat using over 70 different weapon data items. Stunning pixel art graphics, epic boss battles, and a twisting story with multiple endings await.
Additional details about Sigma Star Saga, including platform availability and news about physical editions, will be shared in the months leading up to the game’s launch.
