On Thursday, the new Sunsoft — which, technically, never went away — outlined its plan to rerelease and revive its classic game catalog, starting with the Vampire Survivors-inspired Ikki Unite and releases of beloved retro games Gimmick! and Ufouria (known as Hebereke in Japan) for modern platforms.
While Ikki Unite is being developed by Sunsoft internally, other titles are being developed with the aid of outside studios.
Sunsoft is willing to work with smaller indie studios on games based on its IP, Ochi said: “Our strategy is very open.”
Ikki Unite will expand upon the original single-player game with online multiplayer, and is unmistakably inspired — if not outright copying — 2021’s smash hit Vampire Survivors.
