Gunbird

Two stories from October 5, 2026 establish that Psikyo Memories, a 12-game Psikyo collection that includes Gunbird and Gunbird 2, is set for February 18, 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 under Edia, licensed from Seoul-based KMBOX.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 9

Two stories from October 5, 2026 describe the same collection. Psikyo Memories is scheduled to release February 18, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. Edia announced it that day and opened pre-orders. The package collects 12 shooting games from the arcade developer Psikyo, spanning Sengoku Ace (1993) through Sengoku Cannon (2005).

Gunbird enters the picture only as part of that set. The confirmed lineup includes Gunbird, Gunbird 2, and Gunbarich alongside Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945 II, Strikers 1999, Sol Divide, Dragon Blaze, Zero Gunner 2-, and the three Sengoku Ace episodes. Edia is releasing the collection under a license from Seoul-based KMBOX, which holds the Psikyo IP.

The two reports agree on the basics: the date, the platforms, the 12-title count, the KMBOX license, pre-orders opening the same day, and a gallery of archive materials. They differ on presentation. The announcement describes the standard edition at 7,480 yen including tax and a special edition at 16,280 yen with an illustration booklet, desktop calendar, and a 12-piece dog tag set. It also mentions a Training Mode for score practice and a tentative version shown at Edia's Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth. The later report, timed to the opening of the Psikyo Memories website, is where the full game list and the February 18, 2027 date are laid out together. No separate Gunbird release outside this collection is mentioned.
