Dat Japan is bringing back Arena, the hex-based strategy RPG that came bundled with GAMEPACK and was preinstalled on Fujitsu FMV PCs in the 90s. Arena Remake will offer two ways to play: Legacy Mode preserves the original rules and even keeps player-friendly bugs, while Arrange Mode rebuilds the dot art, UI, and balance and adds a story that explains who the protagonist is and what is happening in the world.
Arrange Mode also introduces roguelike mechanics, randomizing stage layouts, enemies, weapons, and items, plus an Endless Mode where players face progressively stronger foes. The remake is set in the same world as Lamy's Adventure 1&2 Remake, Air Hockey, and the upcoming Lamy's Adventure DX and Lamy's Arena, with the new story revealing those connections. It is due out for PC and Switch in winter 2026.
