Konami is getting its own Picross game featuring classic pixel art

The popular Picross S puzzle series is set for a nostalgic infusion with the upcoming release of Picross S: Konami Antiques Edition. This new installment will bring the nonogram puzzle formula to a collection of classic Konami pixel art, joining the existing franchise tributes to Sega, Capcom, and Namco.

Players will solve hundreds of picture-cross puzzles to reveal pixel art imagery drawn from Konami's storied back catalog. The game promises to feature characters and scenes from beloved franchises that defined a generation of gaming. Upon successfully completing puzzles, the revealed pixel art can be viewed in a dedicated gallery, serving as a digital museum of retro gaming history.

The title will include all the expected modes of the Picross S series, such as standard Picross, the larger Mega Picross, and the color-based Clip Picross. With additional bonus content and a focus on accessible, logic-based gameplay, this edition aims to blend brain-teasing challenges with a heavy dose of 8-bit and 16-bit nostalgia. It continues the series' tradition of celebrating iconic Japanese game publishers through its engaging and familiar puzzle format.
