Lock's Quest was quietly one of the Nintendo DS's best games, and the lead up to its release has been just as much so. Publisher THQ Nordic announced earlier today that the Lock's Quest Remaster, which is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC, will be releasing next month on May 30th, 2017.
The remaster is being developed by Digital Continue, who has maintained a focus on preserving the integrity of the original game. That said, all will not be entirely the same, as the game will get upgrades to its visuals, controls, music, and features. Speaking of upgraded features, here's a list of what you can expect from the Lock's Quest Remaster.
- New progression system automatically unlocks new turrets at specific story plot points
- Brand new Antonia Defense Battles featuring a new map
- All music remastered in high definition, with orchestrated introduction and ending
- Player controls remapped for keyboard/mouse and gamepad input
- Revamped User Interface, customized for HD resolution, including all new GUI Art
- Character portraits refactored in High Resolution
In Lock's Quest, you play as a young boy named Lock who happens upon an invasion of his village, which ends up turning into a much wider conflict. The game unfolds over 75 days of warfare as you construct turrets and traps and unleash special attacks on the invading forces.
The Lock's Quest Remaster releases on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on May 30th, 2017.
