DATE: AUGUST 28TH, 2026

LETCHWORTH, UK: Blaze Entertainment is delighted to announce the return of a fan favourite collection with the re-issue of Piko Interactive Collection 1. Originally discontinued in 2023 this revised edition features 19 great games from Piko Interactive.

The original collection entered "Legacy" status in 2023. This means that a cartridge license deal has expired and can no longer be produced. However, it will still remain on sale where stock is available. This new revised collection is the first of Evercade's "Legacy" cartridges to return to the active line-up.

This new collection has a few updates. A revised 19-game list boasts an amazing selection of console greats across 8-bit and 16-bit systems. The new release also has an updated cover in the newer Evercade design. The re-issue is a great way for newer Evercade fans to experience some of the original 2020 releases in a cost-effective way.

These great titles feature an incredible mix of consoles and genres, from RPGs and racing games, to puzzle games and classic platformers. It's a great example of one of Evercade's great strengths - bringing back classic games and hidden gems for people to own in a physical format.

Piko Interactive Collection 1 is available right now to purchase from Evercade retailers and is part of Evercade's red-coloured home console range as cartridge #09. It will be available for £24.99, $29.99, and €29.99, and releases alongside Visco Arcade 1 & 2, which are also available right now.
