Gley Lancer: Overdrive, a Neo Geo remake of the 1992 Mega Drive shooter Gley Lancer, is in development at Nalua Studio. A playable build with three areas ran at Tokyo Game Show 2026, and the game is scheduled for 2027.
Gley Lancer: Overdrive is a Neo Geo remake of the 1992 Mega Drive shooter Gley Lancer, developed by Nalua Studio. The project was announced on September 10, 2026, with a release scheduled for 2027 on Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo MVS, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. The remake redraws all graphics, replaces the original pixel art and animations, and arranges the BGM in full. It keeps the original's control scheme and gunner formations while adding a new offense and defense system called Overdrive, an 8-direction mechanic that forms an energy field.
By Tokyo Game Show 2026 in September, the project had moved past the announcement stage. Nalua Studio showed Gley Lancer: Overdrive at its booth in the indie game corner, running the original NEOGEO version with three areas playable and no demo footage implemented. The booth build demonstrated that the remake is judged on how it reworks the 1992 original's feel rather than on emulation.
At the show, the playable build confirmed that ship and enemy craft animations have been redrawn for the Neo Geo. The Overdrive system was described as a bomb-like action that forms an energy field. The stories also list modes including Score Attack, Boss Rush, Time Attack and Stage Select.
