Konami Licensing Hudson IPs Like Far East Of Eden To Other Companies

Far East of Eden was one of Hudson’s classic RPG series that harkens back to the TurboGrafx-16. The last game in the series was Far East of Eden Ziria which was released for Xbox 360 and since Hudson was absorbed into Konami we weren’t sure if we would see another Far East Eden game again. But, there is one in development.

Playdek, the company working with Tactics Ogre creator Yasumi Matsuno, announced they are also making a Far East of Eden card game for mobile platforms. The game is slated for release in late 2014 and it will be released internationally.

Perhaps more interesting than seeing the Far East of Eden revival is that Konami is actively licensing out Hudson’s library of IPs. That means there is a chance we’ll see another Bomberman, Bonk, maybe even Air Zonk game some day in the future.
