JELLY JELLY GAMES to Release Japanese Edition of Mechs vs. Minions in 2027
The Japanese edition rides a reprint that only exists because Riot Games and Incredible Dream Studios reached a licensing deal for the game's 10th anniversary, so Japan gets the game through the same partnership rather than a separate local push.

JELLY JELLY GAMES announced on October 23, 2026 that it will publish a Japanese edition of Mechs vs. Minions in 2027. The cooperative board game, set in the League of Legends world, has 2 to 4 players programming mech actions with cards across 10 missions of about 60 to 90 minutes each. Riot Games released the original in 2016; it went out of print in 2020, and a reprint was set for its 10th anniversary through a licensing deal with Incredible Dream Studios. Title and price are undecided.
The Japanese edition is part of the global rollout tied to that reprint, not a separate regional release. JELLY JELLY GAMES has not fixed the Japanese title, the price, or the specifications; the announcement asks readers to follow its social media accounts for those details. What is settled is the game itself: pre-painted miniatures, 10 missions with objectives that change as new rules and mechanics come in, and the programming system where players lay out movement and attack cards before the mechs act. The original edition came from Riot Games in 2016.
