Konami drops blockchain from Project Zircon, re-reveals game as traditional roguelike deckbuilder

Konami re-revealed Project Zircon during its 3 September 2026 'Press Start' showcase as a traditional roguelike deckbuilder — a card-driven game with procedurally generated runs — years after first announcing it as a blockchain title. Players rule a nation, recruit Character Cards and build Facilities to defeat the Calamity Dragon. No release date was given.
