R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos is now planned for release in 2024. The tactical role-playing game compilation will launch for Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, along with Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Developer Granzella and lead game designer Kazuma Kujo launched a Kickstarter campaign crowdfunding additional content production for science fiction simulation game R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos. The designers' objective is to add a total of 24 new missions, with voiceover support for the new contents' logbook.

Developed by Irem, R-Type Tactics for PlayStation Portable saw an English-language release in 2008 under the title "R-Type Command." R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate launched the following year in Japan, featuring familiar spacefaring units from the franchise, including trans-dimensional fighters, space battleships, and Bydo weapons. Music for both games is by Yuki Iwai.

The NIS Online store has opened preorders for Granzella's R-Type Final 3 Evolved Special Edition for PlayStation 5, with shipping scheduled for spring of 2023. The special edition release is bundled with the "Starfighter" dual CD soundtrack.
