Sigma Star Saga is getting a new release in 2025.

During its time on the market, Nintendo 's Game Boy Advance played host to a number of truly special games, some of which have made their way to Switch Online. Unfortunately, that list is fairly small, and those games don't get to be experienced by those that use other platforms. Thankfully, one Game Boy Advance classic is coming back, and it's going to be made available on a number of current platforms, including PC.

Sigma Star Saga first released on Game Boy Advance in 2005, and the game's new release is coming in time for its 20th anniversary. This is just the latest GBA game getting a second chance at life thanks to the Carbon Engine from Limited Run Games, following similar releases like Ninja Five-O. At this time, details about this new release are fairly scarce, but we do know that LRG will be offering a reproduction cartridge for the game, allowing it to be played on the original GBA hardware.

Developed by WayForward and originally published by Bandai Namco, Sigma Star Saga received fairly positive reviews upon its original release, though some critics were a bit harsher than others. Still, it's great that a new audience is going to get a chance to experience the game and see what it has to offer. The combination of space combat with a top-down RPG remains fairly unique after two decades, and should give the game a bit more variety than both of those genres tend to offer.
