In 2012, the novel series KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, was released through Shosetsuka ni Naro and told the story of Kazuma, a young man who dies and is allowed to be reborn in a new world that acts more like an RPG. After agreeing, he and his not so helpful goddess, Aqua, end up going on various adventures with a crew of equally quirky characters, which include defeating a demon king.
The series was written by Natsume Akatsuki and ran for six volumes. Not long after the success of the original novel series released, a 17 volume light novel series and a manga, also written by Akatsuki were released; with the manga still in publication. A successful anime series was also released under Studio DEEN.
As the series became more and more successful, a video game announcement was inevitable. The latest RPG is titled KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! ~Kibo no Meikyu Tsudoi shi Bokensha-tachi Plus~ is a brand new game that is coming towards the end of this summer for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
The game plans on releasing a limited edition version, as well, that will feature a digital code for some new swimsuit and cheerleader outfits for the female characters. The limited edition will also include a cooling towel and water-resistant clear case. A fun, active bonus is that for people who owned the original game, the new game will be available at a discount!
Some of the new recent updates that were announced include more guild quests, new costumes and rewards, event CG and new "Goblin Caves." Players will also experience new monsters, be able to change the music, and players will be able to give Kazuma new abilities. Some new systems include improved UI and the ability to give characters more individuality.
These new updates will add that final touch to make the game both unique and truly immersive. Now it will be even easier to live out and create new stories in the KonoSuba universe. Make sure to share your thoughts on the game in the usual spot!
