Konami announced it is making an action RPG based on Hiro Mashima‘s popular manga turned-anime,. It will be available to play on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
A specific date for Edens Zero has not yet been announced, however, Konami gave a broad 2025 window. Players can expect to play the action RPG sometime next year for most modern platforms (sorry, Nintendo Switch). It is currently available to wishlist on digital storefronts. Preorder information will be revealed at a later date.
“In Edens Zero, tap into a character’s innate power and wield it through Ether Gear, as you relive key moments from the original story while making your own,” reads the official description.
Along with playing through the anime’s most known moments, players will play as several characters. As seen in the trailer above, this includes Shiki, Rebecca, Weisz, and Homura, as well as other beloved characters. The trailer also showcases its anime-inspired visuals and gameplay.
Edens Zero began in 2018 as a sci-fi manga written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima, the creator of Rave Master and the incredibly popular Fairy Tail series. In 2021, Fairy Tale was adapted into an anime helmed by Shinji Ishihira and written by Mutsutaka Hirota.
This is not Edens Zero’s first video game adaptation. Konami developed the mobile game Edens Zero Pocket Galaxy, which launched in 2022. However, the company announced it would be ending service earlier this year.
In other Konami news, the developer and publisher announced the release date for Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, a nostalgic package of retro games based on the card game. Currently, there are eight games confirmed for the collection, with more to be revealed at a later date. The game will ship for Nintendo Switch and PC on February 27, 2024.
