The stylish Nintendo DS adventureĀ Ghost Trick: Phantom DetectiveĀ gets its second lease on life this summer. Capcom has locked in a June 30 release date for theĀ Ghost TrickĀ remaster on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam.

Originally released for the DS back in 2010 and brought to the U.S. in 2011,Ā Ghost Trick: Phantom DetectiveĀ was confirmed to be getting an HD remaster last month.

It’s well-deserved, asĀ Ghost TrickĀ is definitely one of the gems of Nintendo’s dual-screen handheld. The HD remaster will bring it all to more modern consoles with single screens, with upgraded visuals and sound. That includes new music arrangements byĀ Great Ace AttorneyĀ composer Yasumasa Kitagawa, which are fully synchronized with the original music. TheĀ Ghost TrickĀ remaster will even let you flip between the new and original music at will, too.

Add on a new gallery of artwork and music forĀ Ghost Trick, and it does seem like theĀ Phantom DetectiveĀ is getting the historical treatment.
