We first reported on Raiden Fighters Remix Collection back in 2024, before the release date announcement in October 2025. The Raiden Fighters series, first released in the 1990s, is an enduring classic that fascinated gamers with its pixel graphics, high-tempo, intense sound effects, and intricately designed scoring system. Nearly 30 years after the original arcade release, the series, once considered difficult to be remade, is now set to make an epic return on modern consoles, thanks to the support of its devoted fanbase.
Raiden Fighters Remix Collection is out now on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch and can be purchased digitally and physically. The shooter collection, featuring Raiden Fighters (1996), Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive (1997), and Raiden Fighters Jet (1998), will come as a standard as well as a limited edition physical version. Publisher H2 Interactive has called it the “ultimate edition of the legendary shooting game series Raiden, which has been beloved by gamers around the world for decades”.
