Earlier this month, the Japanese role-playing game, Traysia, was announced to be coming to the modern age with a re-release on PC.

Titled Minato no Traysia in Japan, Traysia was originally launched in 1992 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It was developed by Telenet Japan, and the plot follows a hero named Roy on quests.

According to NicheGamer, “The game is a somewhat orthodox party RPG and gained mixed reviews at the time.”

This actually isn’t the first modern release Traysia has received, as it was released in its original physical Genesis/Mega Drive cartridge last year.

This year, Traysia launched on Steam on April 24, thanks to publishers Shinyuden and Ratalaika Games.
