R-Type Dimensions III Digital Release Scheduled for May 19 on Multiple Platforms

R-Type Dimensions III will be released digitally on May 19 for Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The physical collector’s edition arrives later on August 11 and includes a figure sculpted by Weta Digital. The game is a modern port of R-Type III, which first appeared on the Super Famicom in 1993 and reached the SNES in 1994.

It introduced the Round Force, Cyclone Force and Shadow Force power-ups along with a new ship called the R-90 Ragnarok. R-Type Dimensions III retains the option to switch between 3D mode and the original presentation on the fly, a feature carried over from the earlier R-Type Dimensions title. The 3D mode can be toggled during gameplay without interruption.

Forbes reported the release schedule in an article published on May 06, 2026 and written by Ollie Barder. Barder covers Japanese pop-culture and gaming from Tokyo. The original R-Type III stood out for its extreme difficulty even among Irem’s challenging shoot-'em-ups.

Fans have long regarded it highly despite that reputation, and the new port is expected to make the title more readily available again. The physical collector’s edition has drawn particular interest because of the accompanying figure. Barder noted he was curious to see the final sculpt when it arrives on August 11.
