Lunar Legend is a remake of the game Lunar: The Silver Star which was originally released for Sega CD. It is the first game in the series not published by Working Designs, but rather by Ubisoft.

It features a new graphical and musical style separate from the other versions of Lunar: The Silver Star. The character portraits are based on the art style from the Saturn version. It does not contain any of the FMVs present in other games, using stills from them instead.
