A New Game Coming to the Konosuba Universe: Kono Ai Subeki Machi ni Hanei o! Announced
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! (KonoSuba) fans have exciting news: The series' new game Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o! ~Kono Ai Subeki Machi ni Hanei o!~ (Turkish: Bu Harika Dünyaya Kutsama! ~Sevilen Şehrin Refahı İçin~) has been officially announced. The production, personally supervised by original light novel author Natsume Akatsuki, will be released within this year on mobile (iOS/Android) and PC.
In the teaser trailer released on July 27, 2026, the series' beloved characters Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin and Darkness are seen in a production focused on city management and resource gathering. The emphasis on "city" in the game's name points to a simulation/adventure genre where players will manage and expand Axel Town. Akatsuki's direct involvement in the project indicates that fans should not worry about the story and humor.
The Konosuba series began in 2013 with the light novel written by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima, and was adapted into an anime by Studio Deen in 2016. It remains popular with two seasons, a movie (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson), and most recently a third season released in 2024. Previously released mobile and console games (e.g., KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! - Love for These Clothes of Desire!) were mostly visual novel style. The new game, however, changes genre with city management mechanics, offering an opportunity to experience the series' universe from a different perspective.
While the release date has not been finalized, the publisher (likely Kadokawa or a partner) is expected to share more details in the coming months. The teaser trailer shows that the graphics successfully reflect the series' anime style. For Konosuba fans, this means a new breath in the post-pandemic revived anime game market. Stay tuned to follow the developments!
