Edia Licenses Battle Arena Toshinden Trilogy for Modern Consoles, Targets FY2026–27 Release

Edia secured rights from Takara Tomy to deliver value‑added reissues as a 30th‑anniversary project.

Overview

  • The agreement covers ports of Battle Arena Toshinden, Toshinden 2 and Toshinden 3, originally released on PS1 between 1995 and 1997.
  • Edia says the games are planned for “current consoles” with specific platforms unannounced, though a press note references PS5 and PS4 trademarks.
  • The company aims to go beyond basic emulation, citing its retro‑porting track record and promising product details at a later date.
  • Release timing is targeted between fiscal years 2026 and 2027, with development set to commence under the new licensing deal.
  • Toshinden 4 is not included in the announced scope of the re-release plan.
