EARTHION EXA LABEL Available Now!

TOKYO, JAPAN – July 30, 2025 – EARTHION EXA LABEL is available now for arcades on exA-Arcadia. 

The highly anticipated 7th installment of the acclaimed EXA LABEL series is here. EARTHION EXA LABEL brings game music legend Yuzo Koshiro’s all new horizontal shooter to arcades. Developed by exA-Arcadia in cooperation with Ancient staff members. Skilled designer, Makoto Wada, pushes the 16-bit specs to their pixel limits. Famed Pokemon artist, Mitsuhiro Arita, joins as the Illustrator with a stunning analog painted piece. Yuzo Koshiro himself supervised all 5 soundtracks covering each of the classic console variants that the 16 bit generation knows and loves.

With Earth’s resources depleted and its environment in ruin, most of humanity has fled to Mars. However, when hostile invaders launch an attack on the planet, mankind has no choice but to fight back. Take flight in the state-of-the-art space fighter YK-IIA and mount the most important counterattack in human history. Collect 12 different types of weapons and power them to max level. Use the Hyper to get out of a pinch with temporary invincibility and extreme firepower. 

As standard with EXA LABEL releases, this title features a perfect rendition of the ORIGINAL game mode with enhanced sound. The EXA LABEL mode completely changes the gameplay to focus on arcade style scoring and Hyper usage. Uncover all of the secrets to get the high score. EXTREME difficulty is also available in both modes to veterans who love the challenge our releases bring to the table. Practice any stage in both modes in SCORE ATTACK.

Play the definitive arcade experience in EARTHION EXA LABEL with the game industry leading 1 frame input lag response!
