Crows X Worst is a manga based on the manga Crows and the manga Worst, both series about high school delinquents. The first of Konami’s five games based on the series is a collectible card game.

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is trying to be Professor Layton, but there are only a handful of puzzle types that you see over and over, and they are very simple, like spot the difference. There’s also stealth sections and battles using collectible monsters.

MLB Bobblehead Pros plays like the more arcadey Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu/MLB Power Pros series, but the characters have bobbleheads in this entry.

MLB Bobblehead Battle is less like baseball. You use cards to change aspects of your bat or the weather conditions. There is no fielding, instead the ball will land on a space that says something like “out” or “double”.

Leedmees Source

Almost all of Konami’s original PlayStation Vita games were baseball, but AR Combat DigiQ: Tomodachi Senshatai is an exception. It uses the rear camera to somehow generate a 3D map that you can drive your tank around.

Kid vs. Kat was a Canadian cartoon that ran for 52 episodes. Konami made an iOS hexagon grid tower defense game out of it.

Tetris: Axis, or just known as “Tetris” outside of North America, is one of a handful of Tetris games Hudson Soft made. There are quite a few modes in this, including several designed for multiplayer and two utilizing augmented reality. Sometimes this is called Hudson Soft’s last game, but as far as I can tell that comes next year. On April 1st of this year Hudson became wholly owned by Konami.

Leedmees is one of Konami’s Kinect games. Players use their body to move the arms and legs of a large humanoid, and must contort themselves so that small Leedmees can walk along their limbs to a portal through 50 levels.

100-nin Taisen Bomberman allows battles against 99 other bombermen, but only when they are computer controlled. Bomberman and Momotaro Dentetsu have definitely gotten the most attention from Konami among Hudson Soft’s catalog.

Speaking of Momotaro Dentetsu, Momotaro Dentetsu TOKAI apparently released February 1st of this year, and is credited to Hudson Soft. I can’t find any primary sources for this information, or even a screenshot of the game, but if it’s true then this was Hudson’s final game. In a case of disagreeing sources, some say Creature Defense came out this year in Europe, years after it did in North America and Japan, and some don’t.

Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops is a collectible card game that includes characters from all over the series as well some cross overs with Zone of the Enders and other Konami games on GREE. It’s said to have played some like the Acid series. Though it had received over 500,000 downloads within 10 days, the game was shut down after a little over a year.

Steel Chronicle Be is the second game in the Steel Chronicle arcade series. Featuring a colorful cast of characters, players pilot a mech via two joysticks that have analog sticks on the end and shoot giant insects.

Tongari Boushi to Mahou no Machi (translating to something like “Pointy Hats and the Magic Town”) is the fourth and so far last game in the Tongari Boushi series, which only had its first game localized. This series takes after Animal Crossing, being a cozy life sim where you attend magic school, run a mall, collect plants, fish, and bugs, and solve simple mysteries.

Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM was a browser based Yu-Gi-Oh game available on Facebook and Kongregate and developed by Frima Studio. It closed down after 28 months. A mobile version would launch in 2013 and shut down after three years.

DanceEvolution ARCADE is an arcade take on the Kinect-controlled DanceMasters. Players must match the dance moves seen on screen to score well. This arcade game seems to use Kinect technology as well, you can see the branding if you look closely.

Sound Voltex is a new Bemani series featuring two knobs, a row of four buttons, and a row of two buttons, all of which must be pressed or twisted in accordance to the music and prompts, which move downwards towards a bar on the bottom of the screen.

The first of the 80 games Konami will release onto the Wii U begin this year. Every single one is a Virtual Console release of a retro title.

Star Wars: Force Collection is another collectible card from Konami for smartphones. It featured characters from throughout the whole series, each with various stats, attack types, and force alignment. Your ability to play was restricted by an energy mechanic and cards were obtained from randomized packs. It was playable for about five years.

Tokimeki Restaurant☆☆☆ is a spin-off of the Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side spin-off of the Tokimeki Memorial series. The Girl’s Side series is about impressing boys rather than girls, and in this game you’re cooking for and romancing six boys who happen to be idols. Though made by Konami’s LovePlus team and seemingly quite successful, the game was transferred to Koei Tecmo’s control after a year and a half.

Mirai Dagakki: Future TomTom is a short lived Bemani series featuring four drums.

The very last PlayStation 2 game was released this year, by Konami. This version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 was also released on the PSP and is a European exclusive.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which was mostly made by PlatinumGames but Konami also did some work on, is a stylish katana-focused action game set after Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. You play as Raiden, who is a cyborg now.

BeatStream is the first of Bemani’s two BeatStream arcade releases. Symbols move from the edge of the large screen towards the middle, where they must be touched, and sometimes dragged to specific places. Sometimes non-moving symbols appear on screen and must be touched.

This isn’t the first year that Project EGG (Engrossing Game Gallery) has appeared on these lists, but it is the first time that so many have in a single year. Project EGG was formerly run by Bothtec but is now run by D4 Enterprises and is a service that sells emulated versions of retro games for Windows. There is a Switch version of the service, but none of Konami’s games have appeared there as of this writing. There is a monthly fee for the service, after which you have to buy individual games, but you can still play them after your subscription has lapsed. There are over 1,000 games on the service and it includes games from 23 different systems and several different Japanese developers including Konami, Nihon Falcom, Compile, Micro Cabin, and T&E Soft.

What started this year is Arcade Archives. Hamster were the ones behind the arcade compilation Oretachi Gēsen Zoku on the PlayStation 2. In 2014 they started releasing games on the PlayStation 4 under the Arcade Archives branding. Starting with select Nippon Ichi titles and expanding to more companies over time including Nintendo, Namco, and Konami, Hamster is selling other Japanese developer’s older games on digital platforms. When these games are included in Konami’s compilations in addition to being sold under Arcade Archives label I use the earlier release’s year.

 

Scotto is an arcade game where you bounce a ball onto a surface in front of you and into a basket. There is also a mode where you are challenged to bounce the ball off of lit discs surrounding the basket set at different angles before sinking the ball into the basket.

Nisekoi Yomeiri!? is a visual novel dating sim co-developed with Artdink for the PlayStation Vita. It is based on the manga Nisekoi: False Love. There are some similarities with LovePlus, you have 30 days and must manage your time well to end up with one of the five heroines.

P.T. is not a full game, but rather a “Playable Teaser” for a new game in the Silent Hill series that Hideo Kojima was working on with Guillermo del Toro. The planned game was cancelled when Kojima parted with Konami and P.T. was pulled from PlayStation Network and made unable to be re-downloaded despite the widespread acclaim that it had received.

Chronos Ring was a mobile-only RPG. Konami partnered with Tri-Ace for this one, which got some attention in the English speaking world, despite never ultimately leaving Japan. It looks to feature turn based combat with a front and back row of three characters.

Múseca was another short live Bemani music rhythm game. The inputs this time are a foot pedal and five disks. The disks can be pressed down, tapped, or spun as indicated by symbols moving downward in five columns.

Tsum Tsum (Japanese for stack stack) are a line of stackable plush toys based on various Disney characters. LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum for smartphones (not made by Konami) and Disney Tsum Tsum the arcade game were later made to capitalize on their popularity. Both play very similarly, circular Tsum Tsum of several types fill the play area and can freely slide against each other, drop, bounce, and rotate. Players draw a line between the same kind of Tsum Tsum on a touch screen to eliminate them, granting them more time and causing more Tsum Tsum to drop into the playing area. The arcade game dispenses a Tsum Tsum figurine after playing.

Otocadoll is a music rhythm RPG. To attack an enemy you must complete a rhythm challenge with three columns of symbols (they look like candy) dropping down. You can gain new clothes and accessories from battles to improve your doll’s stats.

Following its prologue game Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes from the year before, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain released in 2015. The player must complete missions to earn money to upgrade Big Boss’s Mother Base, recruit soldiers, and buy new weapons. Featuring a day and night cycle, weather effects, reactive enemies, and many gadgets to try out Phantom Pain is a highly interactive game that wowed critics.

There were large organizational changes within Konami as they adopted a more centralized and mobile-focused approach this year and Hideo Kojima would leave the company.

There wasn’t a lot going on this year with the usual yearly PES and Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu games, several Bemani sequels, and a whole lot of re-releases of older games.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 myClub is a free to play standalone version of a mode available in Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 where you collect cards representing players to build a custom team.

Dance Dance Revolution A (pronounced “Ace”) is one of the few DDR games to be released in North America, Europe (next year), and Japan and it features many tweaks to gameplay.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links launched this year for smartphones in Japan and worldwide next year. Duel Links uses a simpler, faster version of the card game. The game has added characters, cards, and mechanics from subsequent animated series over the years and has become very successful, eclipsing 150 million downloads.

Super Bomberman R Source

Nostalgia is a new Bemani series featuring a piano keyboard. Horizontal bars fall from the top screen to the bottom screen and a key must be played as it reaches the bottom line. There is some leeway to which key you press, any key within the horizontal bar’s width will count, with higher difficulties having narrower bars.

PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer is Konami’s last PlayStation 3 game and one of the very last PS3 games overall.

100% Pascal Sensei: Kanpeki Paint Bombers is based on a children’s manga series about a mole teacher who is very dumb. The game plays a bit like Bomberman meets Splatoon, you can lay bombs that explode and paint the nearby area and stun enemies caught in the explosion, with the winner being the one who has painted a greater share of the arena. There are over 150 characters you can play as.

Super Bomberman R was a Switch launch title and the first new console Bomerman game since 2010’s Bomberman Live: Battlefest. Several former Hudson Soft employees worked on the game. There is a single player mode that features eight color-coded bombmen putting a stop to the Five Dastardly Bombers as well as a few multiplayer modes. A number of Konami and non-Konami characters would be added as playable characters in free updates, such as Pyramid Head, Goemon, Raiden, Master Chief, and Ratchet & Clank.

The last few of Konami’s Wii U Virtual Console releases trickle out, almost a year into the Switch’s life. Meanwhile Nintendo Switch Online gets its first Konami and Hudson Soft Famicom/NES games.

Dancerush Stardom is a one off Bemani game that went through quite a few names during testing: Stepstar, ShuffleDancerz, Dance Generations, and Dance Rush. One of the big features seems to be the ability to record a video of the player’s performance that is somehow sent to the player, though it is disabled in several countries. The dance floor is pressure sensitive and players must time their left and right steps, foot slides, and jumps in accordance to the prompts. Lights on the dance floor light up when stepped on.

Metal Gear Survive is the first Metal Gear game since Kojima left the company. As the name suggests it’s more of a survival game than a stealth game, with some tower defense elements and something like zombies as enemies.

Pixel Puzzle Collection is a nonogram game (Picross being the most famous) featuring classic Konami pixel art. The puzzles are selected randomly once you have chosen one of the 10 categories: Action, Shooting, Thinking, Sports, Variety, Gradius, Parodius, Bomberman, School Girls and Castlevania. There are 500 total puzzles and once they have all been solved you can play “expert mode” where you cannot mark the spaces that you think are blank.

Bombergirl is only the second Bombeman arcade game but it is quite a departure for the series. This is something of a MOBA with two teams of four, the goal being to destroy your opponent’s base. You attack your opponents, their base, and blocks that litter the arena by dropping bombs, in classic Bomberman style. There are 31 characters to choose from, each with their own stats and attacks, which fall into one of four categories: bomber, attacker, shooter, and blocker. After a match you can press a big red button to get a random unlock, including a new playable character. Bombergirl was released for Windows in 2021, but neither version left Japan.

A fairly large list of games this year, but they are mostly from Arcade Archives or part of one of the three compilations Konami released this year for several platforms. This also marks the first year that no Hudson Soft game was released anywhere.

DANKIRA!!! – Boys, be DANCING! is a gacha-driven rhythm music game where you dance battle with a team of three boys. Updates lasted for a bit over a year, but it is still possible to play.

Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2019 the last of Konami’s PlayStation Vita games, and one of the last for the system overall.

Konami Australia released two Castlevania slot machines this year: Castlevania: Vampire Hunter and Castlevania: Warrior of Darkness. These are the only known Australian exclusive Konami games, but there are likely many more slot machines not tied to popular series that no one has bothered to document which were also only released in Australia.

Contra Anniversary Collection Source

Speaking of Castlevania, Konami released three compilations of games this year to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Castlevania: Anniversary Collection among them. There are eight games included from the 1986 original to 1994’s Castlevania: Bloodlines. It came with The History of Castlevania: Book of the Crescent Moon, an 80 page digital book that contained short manuals for the included games, an interview with Michiru Yamane and Adi Shankar, production documents, a timeline of the series, and more.

Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection is another compilation released this year, featuring eight arcade games. Seven of these are classic shmups and the other is the non-classic Haunted Castle. It also contains an e-book, titled The History of Konami Classics.

Contra Anniversary Collection is the last of the three compilations. This collection between 5 and 10 games depending on how you want to count it. Contra and its arcade, NES, and Famicom versions, Super Contra for arcade and NES, Contra III: The Alien Wars and Super Probotector: Alien Rebels are the North American and European versions of the same game, as are Contra: Hard Corps and Probotector, and finally the Game Boy’s Operation C. This collection also came with The History of Contra e-book, 74 pages of development documents, interviews, a timeline, art, and more.

Konami’s sole game released for Google’s cloud gaming service Stadia was Super Bomberman R Online. This entry plays very similarly to Super Bomberman R, but is only about multiplayer. It featured a 64 player battle royale mode and “crowd play”, a way to join a streamer on YouTube. R Online would come to other systems next year without the crowd play feature. Online play would be shut down on December 1st, 2022 to make way for Super Bomberman R 2.

Konami’s only releases for the Amazon Luna cloud gaming service were this year and they are the three compilations from last year.

Momotaru Dentetsu is a series that Konami inherited from Hudson Soft that has been compared to Monopoly, as players move their train around a board representing Japan’s railway system. You can buy properties and there are various positive and negative events that can occur. The first game was released in 1988 for the Famicom and there have been dozens of entries since.

In 2020 Konami released Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa Mo Teiban! for the Switch and it was a huge hit in Japan, ultimately selling over 4 million copies. It was the best seller on Famitsu’s charts for 11 straight weeks and is one of the best selling games in Japan ever. Several years later there was an Asia English version released, which is why the screenshot is in English.

Skelattack is an indie metroidvania made by a small team led by David Stanley. The primary reason I am bringing this game up is because of the online reaction when it was announced. News articles, forums, YouTube, the comments everywhere were “oh, I guess Konami decided to stop making pachinko games?”, or “why are they making this and not another Castlevania?” or “wow this looks awful, Konami has really lost its talent” despite the fact that they are just the publishers and have published games they didn’t develop since the ’80s. It certainly has been disappointing to see Konami make fewer and fewer games that aren’t sports, mobile, or music games, but it was astounding to see how little people understood about the company they were mad at, and that is one of the reasons I wanted to do this project, to really get a sense of what games Konami develops and publishes and how it has changed over time. Skelattack was the start of a new initiative by Konami’s European and American branches to publish more indie games, which seems to have ultimately resulted in perhaps three more games by indie developers being published by Konami.

Yu-Gi-Oh! NEURON isn’t a game, but rather a tool for Yu-Gi-Oh! players. You can keep track of your physical card collection by taking pictures of them and you can then put them into custom decks. It can also be used for dice rolls during the game or to keep track of things like counters or life points.

The Turbografx-16, also known as the PC Engine, was Hudson Soft’s first attempt at a console that was released in 1987. Although fairly successful in Japan it didn’t do too well in North America. Konami partnered with M2 to make a miniature version of the console with emulated versions of many of its greatest hits. This mini console goes by the name of PC Engine Mini in Japan, TurboGrafx-16 Mini in North America, and PC Engine CoreGrafx Mini in Europe. Many of these games were originally developed by either Konami or Hudson Soft but there are a few games from Namco, Taito, Sega, Capcom, and others. The way I am counting things there are 54 total games for the system, with Life Force/Salamander not being available on the Japanese version, and Tengai Makyō II: Manji Maru and Tokimeki Memorial being exclusive to the Japanese version. If I counted correctly, 21 of the games are shoot ’em ups.

Pro Evolution Soccer, aka Winning Eleven, is no more, replaced with eFootball. Debuting on five platforms this year and the two mobile ones the next year, this game marks a transition from the Fox Engine to Unreal 4. This change led to numerous missing features and technical issues at launch, causing it to be Steam’s lowest rated game for a time. It is also now free to play, and instead of issuing a new game every year it is updated over time with new features and updated player rosters.

Raw Thrills turned the 2020 dungeon crawling game Minecraft Dungeons into an arcade game. Konami published it in Japan.

Solomon Program is a turn based RPG where your team of collectible monsters fights another team on a five by ten grid. You don’t directly control your monsters, you set up a series of instructions before battle begins. It is free to play and has a gacha system for getting new monsters and upgrades. There seems to be an emphasis on fighting against other human players rather than the story mode.

Contra Returns started as a China-only mobile game in 2017 before getting a “beta” version international release in 2021. Konami seems to have co-developed the game with TiMi Studios, and it was published by Tencent among others. This game makes the bold claim that “After a 30-year hiatus, the Contra you know and love is back!”. Contra Returns was free to play and had a complex monetization system with roulette wheels, loot boxes, puzzle pieces, multiple currencies, and gacha pulls. There are level up mechanics, upgradeable weapons and armor, up to 72 playable characters and summonable pets. The game was delisted in 2024.

Castlevania Advance Collection is a compilation of the three Game Boy Advance games: Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow. Also included is SNES game Dracula X/Vampire’s Kiss. You can choose between North American, European, and Japanese versions of all included games.

Dance Around is a new Bemani dancing game that uses cameras to track player’s movements. Players are tasked with accurately striking the same pose as a series of silhouettes that scroll by.

EDENS ZERO Pocket Galaxy is based on the manga Edens Zero by Hiro Mashima, who also created Rave Master and Fairy Tail. It was a free to play action RPG with gacha mechanics that mostly followed the story of the manga.

Getsu Fūma Den: Undying Moon Source

Digital Eclipse put together Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, a compilation of 13 TMNT games. There are several beat ’em ups, all three versions of the fighting game Tournament Fighters, the platforming action game on the NES, and Radical Rescue, a Metroidvania. There are also scans of the original box art and manuals for each game, scans of a few print ads, comic book covers, stills from several of the animated series, a few miscellaneous production documents, and more extras.

Crimesight was a social deduction game set in the future that was often compared to Clue. There was no single player mode outside the tutorial and it quickly became difficult to find enough people to play a match. The game was delisted about a year after release.

Getsu Fūma Den: Undying Moon is the follow up to the 1987 Famicom game Getsu Fūma Den, the longest gap between successive games in a series that I have been able to find. Guiness World Records claims Dizzy’s 26 years is the record, though they also have a vague “on a related platform” qualifier.

Though both are 2D action platformers, Undying Moon takes a roguelite approach with randomized drops and upgradeable weapons, skills, and health. The multiple kinds of progression are by all accounts painfully slow as you play through long procedurally generated levels. The game has a striking ukiyo-e art style.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 succeeds the 20th Anniversary, Essential Collection, HD Collection and Legacy Collection compilations of Metal gear games. It contains the original Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the first three Metal Gear Solids, and the VR missions. If you notice some of these games not included on some of the lists above, it’s because they were already released on that system in an earlier year.

Castlevania: Marble of Souls is a coin pusher arcade game that uses marbles instead of coins. The object is to keep sending marbles to the play area to push cards featuring Castlevania characters into a payout slot. The cards can be inserted into the machine to view special videos, or exchanged for tickets. 

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle was developed by Second Impact Games who seem to have worked as a support studio for various developers since 2011 as well as making the Flash game Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe. This game can be played with up to four players and features cooperative mini games and puzzles, many of which take after rhythm games. There are a few Konami songs included in the soundtrack.

Pino chocolates are a Japanese confection that consists of “ice cream” surrounded by a chocolate shell. The chocolate is meant to melt in your mouth.The packaging comes with a plastic pick designed to spear the chocolate so you don’t have to touch it and get melted chocolate on your fingers. They often have promotional tie-ins, and in 2023 BomberPino was released. The outside of the packaging is made to look a bit like a handheld gaming system while the inside of the packaging contains a QR code. When scanned it takes you to a web page where you can play BomberPino on a smart device. It plays like your typical 2D Bomberman, but the Bombermen’s heads are Pino chocolates. Trying to access this page on something else would result in an error message. It wasn’t long before the web page started redirecting to Pino’s main page and a promotion for Pinotaro Dentetsu began.

Polaris Chord is a rhythm arcade game, though it did not feature the Bemani branding until 2025. It features a keyboard of 12 keys and two faders that can be moved left or right. You create a team with characters obtained through a gacha system and songs have to be unlocked by earning in-game currency.

We’ve got three compilations this year, let’s start with Castlevania Dominus Collection. This is a compilation of the three DS Castlevania games, namely Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. The arcade game Haunted Castle is also included, but thankfully it’s joined by an all new and much improved version made by M2: Haunted Castle Revisited. There are a few extras such as in-progress art and a compendium with information on things like enemies and equipment.

Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked! is a collection of three games from the series, the Genesis games Rocket Knight Adventures and Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2, and Sparkster for the SNES. The only game from the series not included is 2010’s Rocket Knight. These games were brought to modern systems with Limited Run Games’ Carbon Engine, but I still count them as developed by Konami because they made the originals. There is a boss rush mode, a museum and a music player for each game.

Silent Hill 2 Source

It’s a bit murky whether Shimada Kikaku made the NES and Game Boy Felix the Cat games with Hudson Soft or by themselves, but this is another compilation made by Limited Run Games using the Carbon Engine. These games are both fairly simple and short platformers, and the Game Boy version is a shorter version of the NES game. There is no sort of museum with scans of ads, manuals, and boxes, like with Rocket Knight Adventures.

In 2022 Konami held a “Silent Hill Transmission”, announcing Silent Hill F, Silent Hill: Townfall, Silent Hill: Ascension, Return to Silent Hill, and a remake of Silent Hill 2 by Bloober Team. There was some skepticism, both about remaking an atmospheric PlayStation 2 game that was very nostalgic for many, and trusting Bloober Team to do it, but the response was very positive. The areas you explore have been expanded from the original, combat has been modernized and made less clunky, some story elements are more fleshed out, and the game is overall about twice as long.

Three more compilations this year covering varied genres. Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, also officially known as Suikoden I & II HD Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2 Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars on the Switch 2, are remasters of the PlayStation JRPGs. Konami apparently plans to revive the series with an anime, gacha-run mobile game, stage play, and an exhibition which will have recreations of weapons, production documents, and life sized statues in the future.

Gradius Origins is a compilation of games from the horizontally scrolling shooter series. The number of titles included is difficult to enumerate, 18 if you are feeling charitable and perhaps seven if you aren’t. There are six versions of Gradius, several of which are nearly identical, there are three versions of the Japanese Gradius II, there is a prototype of Gradius III shown at a Japanese festival. Like with Haunted Castle Revisited, M2 made an original game for this series: Salamander III. Several of the games in this compilation aren’t listed here under 2025 because they were already released under Arcade Archives or Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection in 2019.

Digital Eclipse put together Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection, which contains 14 Yu-Gi-Oh! games originally released for the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. This is the first time six of the games have been translated from Japanese, if you count the Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist as distinct. Three games have had online play added.

Edens Zero is a console take on the mobile Edens Zero Pocket Galaxy, which was shut down the year prior. There is a story mode where you complete missions and advance the story, and an open world mode where you can explore and complete quests to get stronger. This is still an action RPG with skill trees for every playable character and equipment that can be upgraded along with a few mini games.

Survival Kids is the first game in the series since 2008’s Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked. It is a bit of a departure for the series, focusing on cooperatively gathering materials and building things with others, and aimed at a young audience. There are nine islands and your goal on each is to reach your wrecked raft and repair it. Eating food refills your stamina, which allows you to do certain tasks for longer. It was developed by Unity, as in the makers of the Unity game engine.

And that’s where things stand with Konami as of my cuttoff date of August 31st, 2025. Feel free to check out the graphs in the statistics section if you haven’t already.
