Square Enix wasn't joking when it said it wanted to remake some older JRPGs. Case in point, the recent trademark the Japanese company filed for Tactics Ogre: Reborn.
The Ogre Battle series is one of Square Enix's earlier and biggest hits. The tactical role-playing game series started life in 1993 in Japan as Quest Corporation's Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. Key members of the original studio would later join Square Enix following the release of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together in 1995. Afterward, Square produced three more games in the franchise, the latest of which being Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis for Game Boy Advance in June 2001 and a remake of the 1995 classic title for the PlayStation Portable in 2010.
Since then, Square Enix hasn't talked much about the Ogre Battle strategy RPG series until details of a Tactics Ogre Remaster appeared in last year's infamous Nvidia GeForce leak.
With Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition confirming the Chrono Cross remaster on the aforementioned list, it's safe to assume that the datamined information was legitimate. The sighting of the Tactics Ogre: Reborn listing suggests that Square Enix is working on a remaster of two of its most iconic turn-based strategy games, Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics.
