The first English language trailer for Omega 6: The Triangle Stars has been released.
The game, a text-based adventure with 16-bit era graphics, was released in Japan last month but was only available in Japanese.
Now publishers Clear River Games and City Connection have released the first trailer for the English-language version of the game, which is scheduled to be released for Switch and PC in 2025.
Omega 6 is based on a manga by former Nintendo art director Takaya Imamura.
Imamura is the game's story and art director, while former Nintendo composer Shinobu Amayake (Stunt Race FX, Wario's Woods) composed the music.
An English-language version of Imamura's comic will also be released in the West, published by Dark Horse Comics.
In an exclusive interview with VGC last year, Imamura explained the similarities between Omega 6 and Star Fox.
“It's different story-wise, but my drawing style, which sounds like a 'retro future', is similar,” he said. “That's the only thing I can draw – that's my style – so I didn't change it! I always wanted to draw manga in that style, so I just took it from my previous games.”
Imamura left Nintendo in 2021 after three decades, having worked on titles such as F-Zero, Star Fox and numerous Zelda games, including A Link to the Past and Majora's Mask.
