"Capcom Revives Breath of Fire IV on PC, 25 Years Later"

After 25 years, the beloved RPG Breath of Fire IV is making a triumphant return to PC, breathing new life into the classic game first released on PlayStation in Japan and North America in 2000, and in Europe a year later. The original PC port hit European and Japanese markets back in 2003. This iconic title follows the journey of Ryu, a man with the extraordinary ability to transform into a dragon, as he joins forces with a group of warriors to thwart an emperor's plans to destroy the world.

As part of its ongoing Preservation Program, GOG has meticulously updated Breath of Fire IV for today's PCs, offering a DRM-free experience on its platform. The enhanced version is fully optimized for modern systems, ensuring compatibility with Windows 10 and 11. Players can enjoy the game in both English and Japanese, thanks to updated localizations. The graphics have been significantly improved with an upgraded DirectX renderer, and new display options such as Windowed Mode, V-Sync, Anti-Aliasing, and refined gamma correction enhance the visual experience. Additionally, the audio engine has been revamped, restoring missing environmental sounds and introducing new configuration options for a richer auditory experience.
