Grandia HD Remaster & Grandia II HD Remaster gets a patch addressing various bugs, but not smoothing filter

by Adam Vitale on 03 September, 2020

GungHo Online Entertainment America has updated Grandia HD Remaster and Grandia II HD Remaster for both PC and Nintendo Switch with a patch addressing various bugs and issues.

No, the patch does not address the character artwork or sprites for the first Grandia as some may hope, which appear as if they've had a smoothing filter applied for the remaster.

This patch will be included in the Limited Run Games physical release for the Grandia HD Collection on Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders close on September 6.
