Edia reconfirmed plans for a Battle Arena Toshinden Collection on the show floor at Tokyo Game Show 2026, pledging to port the classic PlayStation fighting trilogy to modern systems.
The collection will include Battle Arena Toshinden (1995), Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (1995) and Battle Arena Toshinden 3 (1996), all originally released on Sony's PS1.
Background and historical context
Battle Arena Toshinden debuted during the PlayStation's launch window and became notable for its early 3D graphics and arcade-style presentation.
Developed by Tamsoft and published by Takara (now Takara Tomy), Toshinden drew contemporary comparisons to Sega's Virtua Fighter and arrived ahead of Namco's Tekken, which launched in March 1995.
Despite criticism for shallow mechanics, the series spawned sequels and ports to platforms including the Sega Saturn, MS-DOS and the Game Boy.
What's confirmed at TGS 2026
Edia's TGS 2026 presentation explicitly covers the first three Toshinden PlayStation titles.
The company has stated the pack will not include Toshinden 4 or the various spin-offs such as Battle Arena Nitoshinden (PS1), Battle Arena Toshinden Remix (Saturn) or Nettōu Tōushinden (Game Boy).
The collection is being shown at the Tokyo Game Show 2026 exhibition and was described on the show floor as an officially contracted port project for current-generation consoles.
Edia's development roadmap (paraphrased)
Edia said it will begin development on contracted ports for current consoles with planned releases in fiscal 2026–2027.
The company added that it will leverage its existing experience in porting and commercializing retro games to create products that go beyond straightforward emulation, and that further product-line details will be announced as they are finalized.
What this means for fans and platform availability
Edia has not yet listed specific platforms or release dates beyond the fiscal 2026–2027 window.
Retro compilations of this type commonly appear on platforms such as Nintendo Switch, Steam and modern PlayStation hardware, and fans can expect more information from Edia in future announcements or official Nintendo Directs and eShop listings if those platforms are confirmed.
