The PlayStation-exclusive dungeon crawler, Class of Heroes 3, originally released in Japan for PS3 and PSP in 2010, is getting a remaster. While a Western release was planned back then but ultimately cancelled, fans can now rejoice as this remaster is set to launch in 2025 for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Currently, there’s no news regarding a PS4 or Xbox release.
2010 was a monumental year for gaming, witnessing the release of titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mass Effect 2, God of War III, Xenoblade Chronicles, Halo Reach, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, LIMBO, Rock Band 3, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Super Meat Boy, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, Bayonetta, Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver, BioShock 2, and many more. Amidst this impressive lineup, Class of Heroes 3 emerged, but remained exclusive to Japan.
Fifteen years later, the game is finally getting its due with a 2025 remaster. Developed by Acquire and published by PQube, the remaster promises to bring the school-themed dungeon RPG to a wider audience. The announcement trailer offers a glimpse into the remastered version, showcasing updated visuals and gameplay.

Acquire and PQube describe the game as: “Class is back in session! After a 15 year wait, Class of Heroes 3 Remaster, the revered school-themed dungeon RPG series, is finally here! Enroll in one of three distinct schools and join your fellow students on an epic dungeon crawling adventure.”
Specific details about the enhancements and improvements over the original version remain scarce. Information regarding pricing and potential retail releases (likely limited runs) are also yet to be revealed. These details are expected to surface closer to the game’s launch.
While the original game was a PlayStation exclusive, the remaster’s multi-platform release opens the door for a new generation of players to experience the unique blend of school life and dungeon crawling that defines Class of Heroes 3.
Fans eager for more information will need to stay tuned for future announcements from Acquire and PQube as we approach the 2025 release. This remaster represents a second chance for Class of Heroes 3 to make its mark on the gaming world.
