The legendary RPG Breath of Fire IV makes its triumphant return on PC through GOG's Preservation Program, a quarter-century after its original PlayStation debut.

Breath of Fire IV's Digital Resurrection

Originally released in 2000 for PlayStation, this cult-classic JRPG follows dragon-shifter Ryu (distinct from Street Fighter's martial artist) and his band of warriors battling to stop a power-hungry emperor's apocalyptic plans. The European and Japanese PC port arrived in 2003 before vanishing into gaming history.

GOG's meticulous restoration brings numerous modern enhancements:

  • Full Windows 10/11 compatibility
  • Enhanced DirectX-powered graphics
  • Display customization (Windowed Mode, V-Sync, Anti-Aliasing)
  • Revamped audio with restored environmental effects
  • Dual audio support (English/Japanese)

The platform's DRM-free release ensures this piece of RPG history remains permanently accessible to fans and newcomers alike.

Ultima Series Joins the Preservation Effort

GOG's latest batch of restored classics includes the complete Ultima RPG series:

  • Ultima Underworld 1+2
  • Ultima IX: Ascension
  • Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire
  • Martian Dreams (Ultima Worlds of Adventure 2)

Additional preserved titles feature:

  • Worms: Armageddon
  • Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
  • Realms of the Haunting
  • Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
  • Stonekeep
