NEWS | Space Invaders Forever Collection arrives for console on December 11

TAITO and ININ games announced they will be releasing Space Invaders Forever Collection, a compilation of their recent Space Invaders, on December 11, 2020 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

An Iconic Experience

Young or old, novice or hardened gamer, everyone knows the name Space Invaders! Perhaps it is one of the most famous brands ever! Some say it launched the video gaming scene into a new stratosphere/era. It's simple, but the revolutionary game design was so addictive it was cloned in many other forms over the years but the original Space Invaders is still the benchmark for all that followed.

The Space Invaders Forever Collection will include: 

Space Invaders Extreme – Featuring greatly improved graphics and interactive sound to deliver a new immersive experience! Packed with vibrant visuals and a pulsing soundtrack. Space Invaders Extreme comes with 16 stages, packed with devious Invaders and fiendish boss fights. 

Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE – Team up with up to 3 friends to shoot down the Invaders to clear the stages as fast as possible. This brand new 4-player-coop-experience offers new stages, gimmicks and new music written by TAITO's in-house sound team 'ZUNTATA'.

Arkanoid vs Space Invaders – The perfect union of two Arcade Kings, two of TAITO’s most iconic and beloved video game series clash on console and combine elements from both arcade classics. Players are controlling the Arkanoid Vaus paddle ship to defeat waves of Space Invaders. Beat all 150 stages with your skills and unlock 40 different characters from the TAITO legacy. Each character has unique abilities - use more than 20 different skills, including power-ups and protective fire.

Some games are just timeless classic. Space Invaders received multiple visual updates over the years with the recent releases leaning towards fast-paced arcade action for new generations. It’s definitely not the same game what you remembered from 40 years ago but it still retains addictive high-scoring gameplay the series is known for.
