Konami’s recent success with eFootball is set to significantly influence its future in the gaming industry. As one of Japan’s oldest video game companies, Konami has strategically shifted its focus towards live service games, which now represent a substantial portion of its revenue. This transition has not only stabilized profits but also paved the way for further expansion in their console game lineup. The lucrative cash flows generated from eFootball are expected to fuel new projects and innovations within Konami.

KONAMI is set to delight fans with its latest addition to the Picross series, titled Picross S: Konami Antiques Collection. Scheduled for release on April 30, this game will feature 585 puzzles inspired by over 80 classic Konami titles, including beloved franchises like Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Contra. Players will engage in a nostalgic journey through pixel art, solving puzzles that reveal iconic sprites from the rich history of Konami’s gaming legacy.
