For the first time, Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban is getting an English release. This is part of a newly-revealed Asia Edition that Konami revealed today.

Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban Asia Edition launches on December 12, 2024. Aside from English, it will carry support for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

It’s a somewhat surprising move given how old the game is. Konami originally launched Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban in Japan back in November 2020. Momotaro Dentetsu World: Chikyuu wa Kibou de Mawatteru released in Japan last year, and thus far has not been confirmed for any other territory.
