The rumored return of Tactics Ogre would be a long time coming for the franchise. Tactics Ogre has not seen a wholly new game in more than two decades since the GBA’s Tactics Ogre: The Knights of Lodis. While the game has seen infrequent re-releases, the Tactics Ogre franchise has yet to see any versions on modern consoles. However, a recent trademark from Square Enix for Tactics Ogre: Reborn has suggested the developer is eyeing a return to the classic TRPG. Now, a recent PlayStation Store leak has seemingly confirmed the existence of the rumored TRPG.

An erroneous listing on the PlayStation Store has apparently revealed several minor details about Square Enix’s rumored upcoming TRPG. Along with the obvious implication of the game releasing on PlayStation, the leak has revealed both the game’s icon art and promotional art along with confirming the title as Tactics Ogre: Reborn. While the listing did not reveal any information about pricing or a release window, the art provided with the game suggests Tactics Ogre: Reborn will be another remake of the original game.
Despite the apparent existence of Tactics Ogre: Reborn within the PlayStation database, Square Enix has yet to make any official announcement regarding the game. However, Tactics Ogre’s apparent remake would not be the first TRPG remake from Square-Enix to be leaked in recent months. A major GeForce Now leak from last November also suggested the developer may be working on a remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics. However, much like Tactics Ogre, a Final Fantasy Tactics remake is also currently unconfirmed by Square Enix.
A remake of Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics would likely be a welcome addition to Square Enix’s library for fans of the TRPG genre. Similarly to Tactics Ogre, its spiritual successor in Final Fantasy Tactics has also fallen dormant in recent years. The Final Fantasy spinoff has not seen a new title since Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions released for the PSP as an enhanced port of Tactics in 2007. Between the rumored remakes and new IP The DioField Chronicle revealed earlier this year, Square Enix looks to make a triumphant return to the TRPG genre.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is rumored to be in development for PlayStation consoles.
