Edens Zero Pocket Galaxy by Konami Gets Release Date As Console Game Continues to Be MIA

Today Konami has announced the release date of its upcoming mobile game Edens Zero Pocket Galaxy, inspired by the manga and anime by Hiro Mashima.

The wait won’t be much longer, as the game will launch on February 24, including the west.

Below you can take a look at a trailer.

The listings for iOS and Android are already available.

In the meanwhile, the console action JRPG which was announced at the same time during Tokyo Game Show 2020 is still completely missing in action and we haven’t heard about it since. The only mention is in Konami’s quarterly financial documents, which appear to indicate that it’s still in development.
