A 38-year-old NES platformer is getting a Steam remake by its original husband-and-wife team, as the pair’s ‘final major game product’

The Battle of Olympus, originally launched on the NES in 1988, is set to be remade by its original creators, programmer Yukio Horimoto and artist Reiko Oshida, who were in a romantic relationship during the game's development. The remake will feature redrawn pixel art and refined gameplay for modern PC players, while maintaining the original's spirit. It is scheduled for early access on Steam in January 2027 and will be the Horimotos' final major game product. The game was inspired by Greek mythology and The Legend of Zelda 2.
