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. This is the first MACROSS video game to officially come out on Western consoles.

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.
