The remaster of the influential RPG will be coming to Nintendo Switch and PC in 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally released for free back in 2008, OFF was created by Belgian developer Mortis Ghost and composer Alias Conrad Coldwood. At first, the game was only available in French, but its popularity led to it being translated into various other languages including English in 2011. In the game, you play Batter, a baseball batsman who upon receiving guidance from a talking cat called The Judge, sets off on a mission to purify the world and rid it of specters. The game\u2019s fast-paced RPG combat, tricky puzzles and bizarre story and atmosphere have made it a cult classic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OFF for Nintendo Switch and Steam Announcement Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P2CuUUYuYw0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming remaster, which currently has over 50k wishlists on Steam, will introduce an all-new battle system, as well as new areas and hidden bosses, all from the original creator Mortis Ghost. It will also feature a number of new battle music themes composed by Toby Fox.

Specifically, Papyrus\u2019s appearance was initially inspired by OFF boss Dedan, and Sans\u2019s character was slightly inspired by OFF characters Zacharie and The Judge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-header.jpg\" alt=\"OFF remaster\" class=\"wp-image-43231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-header.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-header-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-header-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fox explains that composing new tracks for OFF gave him a \u201ccomplicated feeling.\u201d Given how the original soundtrack has become a vital part of players\u2019 memories of the game, Fox notes that \u201cTrying to replace those songs feels like breaking into somebody&#8217;s house and pasting your face into their family photo album.\u201d However, he seems honored by the opportunity, and also called upon <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/undertale-toby-fox-writes-new-song-for-hololive-vtuber-hokushou-marine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long-time collaborator Camellia<\/a> (AKA Masaya Oya, known for his work on Beatmania and Dance Dance Revolution tracks) to help out with the arrangement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-002.jpg\" alt=\"OFF Remaster\" class=\"wp-image-43230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250127-43226-002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fox notes that he made the new tracks for free and views his contribution as fanmusic, made out of love and respect for Alias Conrad Coldwood\u2019s original score.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OFF is scheduled to be released later this year for PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3339880\/OFF\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>) and Nintendo Switch.
