KonoSuba to Get an RPG Smartphone Game Set for Winter 2019 Release

Ever dreamed of living the isekai anime life? That’s now within your reach—well, sort of—as comedy isekai series KonoSuba will be getting an RPG smartphone game entitled KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world! Fantastic Days.

While the game will not actually transport you to another world like Kazuma, you’ll get to experience an adventure with him and the gang. According to press releases, the KonoSuba smartphone game is a party-based battle RPG which features an original story. The game is fully voiced too, featuring fan-favorites such as the Kazuma, Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, Wiz, Yunyun and more. (Yes, we’ll get to hear Megumin do EXPLOSION!!)

No specific details on the gameplay have been released yet, but the game already has an official website and a Twitter account. The game, which is developed by Sumzap, is set for a Winter 2019 release.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! started out as a web novel series in 2012 written by Natsume Akatsuki. Eventually the web novel was revised to be a light novel series and was published under Kadokawa Shoten’s Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko Imprint from October 2013. It also received a manga adaptation in 2014 which was illustrated by Masahito Watari and Jospeh Yokobori, and was serialized in Fujimi Shobo’s Monthly Dragon Age magazine. KonoSuba eventually made the jump to TV when it was adapted into an anime series by Studio Deen, with the first season airing from January to March 2016 and the second season from January to March 2017.

The story centers on a NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) teenager named Kazuma Sato, who is sent to a fantasy world after an untimely death and forms an unlikely party with a (useless) goddess, a firecracker-addicted wizard, and a masochistic crusader to fight against monsters and the Devil King.
