Square Enix has announced that a remastered Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles will hit  Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in 2019.

A trailer for the game was shown Monday at the PlayStation Lineup Tour, an event preceding Tokyo Game Show.

Players must fight enemies and solve puzzles as they travel to gather magical fuel for crystals that protect towns from the dangerous Miasma.

The original version of Crystal Chronicles, which holds an 80 rating on Metacritic, was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003, and its four-player mode required the use of up to three Game Boy Advances connected to the console.
