The MACROSS franchise is adding to it’s legacy with the latest video game adaptation of the anime series with MACROSS -Shooting Insight. From Red Art Games, the game is coming to North American and European Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4 consoles both digitally and physically in 2024.

MACROSS -Shooting Insight- is a Multi-Dimensional Shooting Game developed by renowned Japanese studio Kaminari Games (Raiden V Director’s Cut). It’s the latest entry in the science-fiction franchise. When multiple dimensional folds suddenly occur across space-time, pilots and songstresses alike find themselves inexplicably transported to the Battle 7. From there, six stories unfold with the fate of the galaxy at stake.
