tri-Ace Announces End of Eternity Enhanced Remaster DLC for Steam

tri-Ace has announced END OF ETERNITY ENHANCED REMASTER, a DLC for End of Eternity 4K/HD EDITION, with a Steam release scheduled for October 30.

Reporting from 3 sources: Denfaminicogamer, Automaton, Game Spark.

Why it matters

A paid DLC arriving roughly eight years after the remaster it upgrades is an unusual way to extend a cult RPG's life, and the AI upscaling disclosure puts the release in the middle of the industry's ongoing argument over AI in remasters.

Key Facts

  • tri-Ace announced END OF ETERNITY ENHANCED REMASTER as DLC for End of Eternity 4K/HD EDITION.
  • END OF ETERNITY ENHANCED REMASTER is scheduled for release on Steam on October 30.
  • The DLC adds native 4K output, HDR, 120fps support, and a 2x game speed option.
  • Supported languages expand to nine with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean added.
  • The base game End of Eternity 4K/HD EDITION launched on PS4 and Steam in 2018.

The Steam store page lists native 4K output, HDR, 120fps support, and a new 2x game speed option. Character and background textures have been re-upscaled, and the store page's AI disclosure states that AI technology is used to raise the resolution of original videos and 3D textures. Supported languages expand to nine with the addition of Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean. The base game is a 2010 PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 RPG set on a polluted far-future Earth where humanity relies on a device called Basel; players follow Zephyr, Vashyron, and Leanne. The 4K/HD EDITION arrived on PS4 and Steam in 2018. The price is not yet revealed, and it is unknown whether the DLC comes to PS4.

The Steam store page is the only public listing so far. Game Spark notes the DLC requires the main game, RESONANCE OF FATE/END OF ETERNITY 4K/HD EDITION, to run on Steam, and that it is unclear whether a PS5 version will appear.

The AI disclosure sits in the page's "AI-generated content disclosure" section, which states that AI technology raises the resolution and quality of the original videos and 3D textures. A previous texture pack for the Steam version, RESONANCE OF FATE/END OF ETERNITY 4K/HD EDITION - HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURE PACK, was free.

The base game's combat is the draw the outlets keep returning to: gun battles that mix strategy with stylish action, a battle system with a strong simulation flavor, and weapon customization that lets players assemble distinctive guns from parts. Game Spark describes the customization as feeling "almost like wild modification" and says it was a topic of discussion at the time. Denfaminicogamer frames the 2x speed option as letting players enjoy "Reiwa-ized Heisei stylish action."

The 2018 remaster itself added Full HD and 4K support, sharper character facial expressions, more vivid background effects and lighting, 60fps, bug fixes from the original, and reduced load times. The new DLC builds on that version rather than the 2010 release.
