Manga for Omega 6, Star Fox artist’s new game, confirmed for English release

Omega 6: The Triangle Stars is not too far away from its English launch on Nintendo Switch, but now we have some news about the manga as well.

Omega 6 comes from Takaya Imamura, a former artist, designer, and developer at Nintendo who worked on Star Fox, F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda including the creation of Tingle, and more. While fans are looking forward to the game, the IP goes beyond that. Imamura also worked on a manga, which Dark Horse has now confirmed for localization. Zack Davisson (H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space) is handling the translation.

Below is the official blurb:

After awakening from a rejuvenating months-long stasis, androids Thunder and Kyla are ready to spring back into bounty-hunting action! With the aid of some peculiar magic fruits, the pair enter a nearly invincible berserker state. However, there’s a catch—once the effect wears off, they will age rapidly and become feeble until they can return to their recovery pods. Their current target, an assassin named Petrogaze, carries an appealing $300 million credit bounty on his head. The job seems easy: the duo plans to power up, bag the bad guy, and be home before dinner. But Petrogaze is much tougher than anticipated! Forced to consume their fruits early, the bounty hunters are suddenly on a life-or-death timer. Dinner’s gonna have to wait!

Imamura also shared the following:

“I sincerely hope that my manga and games can be enjoyed by people regardless of where they live, and it would make me very happy if my work delivers an exciting and thrilling experience!

Finally, we have the following from Junji Seki, Omega 6: The Triangle Stars director and president of Happymeal:

“The videogame version is a totally different story. Set in the same world as the Omega 6 comic, full of drama-infused encounters and battles with the 100 plus unique aliens created by Imamura-san. I hope you enjoy the adventures of Thunder and Kyla in the game as well as the comic; you may even discover characters making an appearance in both!”

Omega 6: The Triangle Stars launches for Nintendo Switch in the west on February 28, 2025 and we’ll be getting the manga this October. Find more information about the game’s upcoming English release here.
