It is based on the manga OMEGA 6 written by Takaya Imamura, who was the main art director, character designer, and storywriter on the F-ZERO and Star Fox series.
Rather than follow the story of the manga, the game will follow a completely original story, as well as feature a number of new characters who did not appear in the manga (in addition to established characters such as Thunder and Kyla).Imamura left Nintendo in October 2021, and released the manga OMEGA 6 in October 2022.
