Yen Press Confirms English Release for 'Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon' Board Game, Set for 2026

Prepare to embark on an epic culinary dungeon crawl, as Yen Press officially unveils the highly anticipated English release of Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon the Board Game. Set to launch in May 2026, this captivating tabletop experience invites fans to delve into the beloved Delicious in Dungeon universe like never before, blending strategic gameplay with the manga's unique gastronomic flair.

Drawing profound inspiration from the classic 1998 Monster Maker board game and meticulously rooted in Ryoko Kui's critically acclaimed Delicious in Dungeon manga, Monster Eater promises a cooperative adventure for 2 to 5 players. Participants will band together to explore treacherous depths, confront formidable creatures, and carve out their legacy in a world teeming with untold riches and perilous challenges.

What truly sets Monster Eater apart is its inventive gameplay mechanic: players are not merely tasked with defeating monsters, but also with 'dining' on their vanquished foes. This ingenious twist directly echoes the manga's iconic fusion of high-stakes fantasy adventuring and delightful, often eccentric, monster cuisine, offering a fresh, immersive way to engage with the series' distinctive charm. The game is a testament to the creative synergy between the original manga's vision and the expert design prowess of Ginichiro Suzuki, ensuring an engaging and thematically rich experience.

Following its successful Japanese debut in November 2024 by Arclight, the global demand for Monster Eater's English localization has been overwhelming. This strategic move by Yen Press aligns seamlessly with their expansive initiatives, as highlighted by the revelation of 14 new licenses across manga, graphic novels, and novels at New York Comic Con 2025. The release of Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon the Board Game not only provides a thrilling new avenue for existing fans to interact with the franchise but also significantly broadens its reach within the burgeoning global tabletop gaming community.

Anticipation is soaring among enthusiasts of both the Delicious in Dungeon manga and cooperative board games. The forthcoming May 2026 launch is poised to further enrich the acclaimed cross-media appeal of the series, underscoring Yen Press's unwavering dedication to bringing Japan's most celebrated titles to an eager English-speaking audience. Get ready to explore, fight, and feast!
