Last year, rumors started cropping up that a full-fledged remake of the PS1 JRPGThe Legend of Dragoonwas in development at Bluepoint Games. Nothing official has been announced, but in the meantime, some fans have taken matters into their own hands, creating a different kind ofLegend of Dragoonremake.
ALegend of Dragoonfan named Flanvel has been creating a remake of the game using RPG Maker MV. It’s really more of a “de-make” in that it uses an older graphical style than what was seen in thePS1 original, but it’s still a new way for fans to experience the game nevertheless. A demo of theLegend of Dragoonremake is available to play for those who support Flanvel’s Patreon page, though it’s unclear just how much the project is still being supported. At the time of this writing, the Patreon page is still active, but it seems as though the Facebook page has been shut down.

HardcoreLegend of Dragoonfans may very well want to check out Flanvel’s take on the game, but others are holding out hope for a proper remake from Bluepoint Games. Bluepoint has being teasing a PS5 project for some time, but it’s unclear if the studio isteasing aLegend of Dragoonremake, aDemon’s Soulsremake, or something else entirely.
Those wondering what gameBluepoint Gamesis working on will likely have to wait for the PS5 reveal event, whenever that may be. Right now, the prevailing theory is that Sony will reveal the PS5 at a special event in February, where it’s expected to show off the new console’s design as well as highlight some of the games that are in development. Sony has yet to officially confirm that the rumored PS5 February reveal event is even taking place though, so fans should keep their expectations in check.
Meanwhile, those who really want to seeThe Legend of Dragoonget a remake may want to consider supporting one of the fan petitions. One of the most popularLegend of Dragoonremake petitionsis nearing 20,000 signatures, and while it may not actually convince Sony to move forward with the project, it does show that there is at least some interest in seeing the game get remade.
