After months of speculation and rumor-mill buzz, Konami has finally confirmed that a launch date announcement for its highly anticipated project will be forthcoming later this year. According to the PlayStation Weblog’s hands-on impressions of the latest demo, this was confirmed.
While a specific introduction date remains uncertain, the possibility of an announcement at the Tokyo Sports Present, taking place from September 26th to 29th, cannot be ruled out entirely. Will the highly anticipated sports star possibly make its debut appearance at The Sport Awards on December 12th? It seems unlikely that the remake will launch this year, given that Sony previously hinted otherwise.
Rumors began circulating in May about a potential 2025 launch, thanks to Dealab’s reliable insider billbil-kun. While Konami never officially confirmed the game’s existence, it has provided insight into its mechanics and features in recent months, including various gameplay styles and an updated battle injury system.
Stay informed of additional developments in the interim. Improvements are underway for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
