Scheduled for release on April 30, 2026, this upcoming title brings together classic Konami characters and franchises in an engaging crossword-style puzzle experience exclusive to the Nintendo Switch platform. This collaboration between Jupiter Corporation, renowned for the Picross S series, and Konami, a titan of video game history, introduces a unique blend of nostalgia and logic-based gameplay.
The new PICROSS S KONAMI ANTIQUES Edition celebrates over 80 iconic Konami games, transforming familiar characters from series such as Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius into charming pixel art puzzles.
