Konami announced on Monday that it is developing a new game in the Busou Shinki franchise. Konami also announced that Kadokawa will publish a manga adaptation of the new game.

Konami had teased a revival of the franchise with a video in December.

The franchise's website credits Hiroyuki Owaku as chief producer, Toriwo Toriyama as character supervisor, and Maki Asai as the model designer. The illustrations, from left to right in the image below, are by Ark Performance, Eeji Komatsu, Yoshinori Shizuma, Humikane Shimada, BLADE, Naohiro Washio, and Kurogin. Other creators listed as participating include neco, redjuice, Arco Wada, and Z Ton.

Konami's line of armed female action figures inspired the net anime Busou Shinki: Moon Angel in 2011 and the Busou Shinki television anime in 2012. Sentai Filmworks released the series on home video.
