New Wai Wai World Game Coming
Konami, one of the long-established gaming brands, is preparing to revive its nostalgic series, Wai Wai World. Announced at Tokyo Game Show 2025, the new project is not a modern adaptation of the classic series, but rather a social platform that gives players the opportunity to create their own worlds.
Wai Wai World Craft Brings a New Breath to the Gaming World
According to Konami’s official statement, Wai Wai World Craft will allow players to develop their own games by editing pre-made assets or using the AI assistant MagicPod. In this respect, the game offers a system similar to Roblox and will also feature characters from Konami’s popular series. This will make user-created worlds even more colorful with a nostalgic touch.
Another striking detail in the trailer was the game’s social aspect. Co-op support for up to eight players, the ability to edit pre-made maps, and game rule-making tools indicate that Wai Wai World Craft will have a community-centric structure. Players will be able to share their creations with other users, and this content will be accessible through the social hub.
Looking back at the series’ history, Wai Wai World first launched for the Famicom in 1988. This game, which brought together Konami’s heroes, was not widely known in the West because it was released only in Japan. The new project has only been announced for Japan so far. The lack of an English trailer raises questions about the game’s global launch.
On the other hand, experts believe this is the right timing for Konami. Given Roblox’s recent community crises and legal issues, the emergence of an alternative platform could be a positive development for players. Whether Konami will expand Wai Wai World Craft to the Western market remains to be seen.
