This is the first time we have seen the console action RPG ever since Konami first revealed it at Tokyo Game Show 2020. The company was rather focused on the mobile game that was announced simultaneously. That one turned out to be Edens Zero Pocket Galaxy, which Konami launched worldwide on February 24, 2022. However, the mobile game only lasted for around 2 years as Konami shut it down earlier this year on February 29.
The Xbox Partner Preview was held way past midnight in the Japanese time zone, and the Japanese Konami headquarters has still yet to upload their own trailer and website, which may reveal more platforms for the Edens Zero console game. We will update this article when such information does arrive. In the time being, you can check out the reveal trailer and screenshots that have been published on the Xbox channel and website right below.
This is a 3D action role-playing game based on the space fantasy comic/anime EDENS ZERO by Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail and Rave Master. It is centered on Shiki Granbell and his friends' cosmos-spanning adventure. Hiro Mashima has had thorough input throughout the game's production! The player controls a diverse cast of characters as they embark on an epic adventure across different planets while battling powerful enemies!
