Konosuba has been snowballing in popularity for the better part of the decade, with the light novel gaining recognition over the years since it began in 2012, also inspiring manga and anime adaptations.
Konosuba: God's Blessing On This Wonderful World is the title of the anime which has received two seasons and much praise from fans. The show features the title character as a shut-in NEET who dies and gets reincarnated in a world that is essentially his very own RPG. Together with the Goddess who revives him, Konosuba puts together a party to bring down the deadly Demon King.
With a synopsis like this, it was almost a given that an RPG adaptation would come into play for Konosuba sooner or later, and it was announced last year that we would be getting one in the form of
Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Labyrinth of Hope and the Gathering of Adventurers! Unfortunately, a recent statement from Entergram brings bad news for the release of the project, or at least the release date.
