Stuttgart, Germany - 9th October 2025 - Following its acclaimed Nintendo Switch release, where the game scored 80/100 from outlets such as Nintendo Life, Hey Poor Player, and Forbes, The Legend of Steel Empire finally makes its way to PlayStation. Originally released in 1992 as Empire of Steel in Europe (Kotetsu Teikoku in Japan), the game has earned cult status for its unique mix of steampunk and late-19th-century industrial design.
This HD remaster features enhanced visuals, reworked controls, and a dynamic leveling system that keeps battles ever challenging. In the game, players choose between the Striker Airplane or the mighty Zeppelin, equipped with an aerial mine launcher, to battle across seven complex stages filled with colossal battleships, armored locomotives, and invincible floating fortresses.
Joining the celebration, Strictly Limited is happy to announce that two exclusive PS4 physical editions of Steel Empire Chronicles are out and shipped today!
The Limited Edition (€39.99) features the original retro games next to the remake, and includes a comprehensive game guide, while the Special Limited Edition (€59.99) adds the Limited Edition content plus a 2-CD Original Soundtrack, reversible poster, three retro cartridge-style stickers, and a retro-inspired collector’s box.
Both editions are available exclusively at
