After announcing WildARMS Alter Code: F for the PlayStation 2 at yesterday's PlayStation Meeting, Sony Computer Entertainment has revealed some information regarding the newest addition to its popular western-themed RPG series. Alter Code: F will actually be a remake of the original Wild ARMS, featuring several improvements over the original PlayStation One title. The character designer in charge of Wild ARMS 3 will return to handle the design work for the remake. While the designs will be similar to those of the third installment, they will not be toon-shaded. Furthermore, two hours of event movies and voice acting will be implemented. The number of active members in your party will remain at three, however, the total number of characters will be increased to eight. As a pre-order goodie, Japanese players can look forward to a Wild ARMS Series Feature DVD, containing movies and artwork from all installments.

Wild ARMS AlterCode: F will be available in Japan sometime this winter.
