Blaze, the company behind the Evercade series of retro platforms, released an update earlier today talking about its upcoming products scheduled to launch in November and December.
This includes information on the expected shipping dates for the Evercade Alpha, the final four cartridge releases of 2024 (Toaplan Arcade 3, Toaplan Arcade 4, Data East Arcade 2, Metal Dragon / Life on Mars), and the previously delayed Evercade EXP-R and Evercade Tate Grips.
The update on the Evercade website starts by stating that “all stock for Evercade Alpha is currently on its way to our partners ready to fulfil pre-orders” and confidently states that the global release will happen between November 28th and December 16th.
Blaze anticipates that the UK and US customers will go out to customers “by the end of November” while those in Western and North Europe will have to wait slightly longer due to “local logistical challenges”.
It then goes on to state that the same release window should apply to the final four Evercade cartridges of the year, which means that the Toaplan Arcade 4 and Metal Dragon/Life on Mars dual cart could potentially arrive a month early in certain territories as the general release date had previously been given as December.
As for the information provided about the Evercade EXP-R and Evercade Tate Grips, it seems that they are now finally in the process of being delivered to retailers after being hit by “significant issues” earlier this year. Because of this, Blaze expects they will start going out to customers by the end of November.

Exciting times for Evercade fans! The update on the Evercade Alpha and the upcoming cartridges has me hyped. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Toaplan Arcade 4 and that dual cart with Metal Dragon and Life on Mars. It’s great to see Blaze pushing through the delays and finally getting the EXP-R and Tate Grips out to retailers. Hopefully, they stick to that late November timeline for shipping. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly! Did anyone else pre-order? What are you most looking forward to?
