FixEight[a] is a run and gun arcade video game developed and published by Toaplan in July 1992.[1] The spiritual successor to 1990's Out Zone, it is notable for being one of the few titles by Toaplan that has not received any official port to home consoles as of date.[2][3][4][5] Set in a future where an alien race known as the Gozzu from the fictional planet Fortuna invaded the universe, players are tasked by the Galactic Federation government with an extermination mission against the invaders by assuming the role of one of the eight mercenaries.
As of 2019, the rights to FixEight is owned by Tatsujin, a company founded in 2017 by former Toaplan member Masahiro Yuge and now-affiliate of Japanese arcade manufacturer exA-Arcadia alongside many other Toaplan IPs.
At Shooters Fest 2024 held in April 2024 at Takadanobaba, Tokyo, Japan, exA-Arcadia announced Fixeight EXA Label as the 6th title in the EXA Label series.[6]
