It's Takaya Imamura Day! Or, as it’s also known, the launch day of OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars! That’s right, today marks the long-awaited release of the legendary Nintendo illustrator’s latest adventure. And it’s a truly special one. OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is a retro-inspired space adventure for anyone who has ever fallen in love with the 16-bit aesthetic of the ‘90s. It tells the story of the androids Thunder and Kyla as they search for a new planet for humanity.

One of the absolute best things about OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is the vast number of wonderful creatures and aliens you’ll encounter on your journey. But that’s hardly surprising. After all, Takaya Imamura is the man behind characters like Captain Falcon (F-Zero), Fox McCloud (Star Fox), and Tingle (The Legend of Zelda). He’s also joined by Shinobu Amayake, who worked on the soundtrack for Stunt Race FX. A true 16-bit composer, in other words!

But enough talk. It’s time for you to head into the cosmos. A grand adventure among the stars awaits!

Imamura's adventure "Omega 6" manga is available in English for the first time!

Based on the upcoming pixel-art adventure game Omega 6 The Triangle Stars, Dark Horse Comics presents Takaya Imamura's (Star Fox, F-Zero) Omega 6, a complete story in one manga volume. This will be available for English readers in October 2025. Translated by award-winning manga translator Zack Davisson (H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour out of Space, Cat + Gamer), the 16-bit video game revolution is coming to comics!

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!"

In Omega 6:
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, Game Director and President of 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!"

Omega 6 is an action-packed ride, with 216 pages (5.75" x 8.25") of retro-futuristic fun in a paperback left-to-right style. Lock in on your target when it arrives in bookstores and comic shops on October 21, 2025 for $14.99. Pre-order now from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator[www.comicshoplocator.com] for more details and stores near you.

Omega 6 is the latest game from the legendary Takaya Imamura. Imamura, who previously designed characters for F-Zero and Star Fox among many other projects, now invites us into a brand-new universe where humanity is searching for a new planet. Joining you on this journey are two androids, Thunder and Kyra, along with over 100 other colorful characters. It promises to be a 16-bit-style adventure unlike anything you've seen before!

The Steam version of Omega 6 is set for release in 2025, and the game will also be coming to the Switch—both digitally and physically. While the extra content hasn’t been fully decided, something special is definitely being prepared.

By the way, did you know Omega 6 actually began as one, before the game was created? That's right—this new universe was first crafted by Imamura-san in manga form. And now the story has come full circle, as a series from Dark Horse is in the works (it’s already out in France).

Welcome aboard the Omega 6 spaceship, friends. Are you ready for an epic adventure among the stars?
