Dark Horse Comics announced the release of Takaya Imamura’s (Star Fox, F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda) Omega 6 manga, the inspiration for the upcoming pixel-art adventure game Omega 6 The Triangle Stars. The manga be available for English readers on October 21, 2025, with translations by Zack Davisson (H.P. Lovecraft’s The Colour out of Space, Cat + Gamer). The manga was first published by France’s Omaké Books in 2022.
Creator Takaya Imamura had this to say about bringing the original manga to English readers in conjunction with the game: “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!” You can check out Omega 6‘s cover and synopsis below.
Omega 6‘s synopsis is below:
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!
“The videogame version is a totally different story,” confirms Junji Seki, the game’s director and president of co-developer Happymeal. “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!”
Clear River Games will publish the Omega 6 The Triangle Stars game in English on Nintendo Switch and Steam on February 28, 2025.
The Omega 6 manga was teased as an action-packed ride, featuring “216 pages (5.75″ x 8.25″) of retro-futuristic fun in a paperback left-to-right style.” It can be pre-ordered from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or local bookstores.
