As everyone must know, 2020 was a year characterized by changes. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a good portion of the world’s population to change their habits and lifestyle. Of course, that also includes the players of Yu-Gi-Oh and other collectible card games. Inevitably, social distancing forced Konami and JCC (Trading Card Game) fans to adapt and embrace virtuality.
While the global health situation has improved, Konami has reiterated the need to continue to support the expansion of the JCC into the digital environment. For this reason, the company has taken advantage of the Yu-Gi-Oh Digital Next to make four important announcements.
Yu-Gi-Oh Rush Duel
Available in Japan from 2020, Yu-Gi-Oh Rush Duel will be coming to Switch in the West in late 2021. This title will not only allow players to explore the world of Yu-Gi-Oh SEVENS, the sixth ‘anime’ of the franchise, but will mark the official debut of the Rush Duels in the West. This mode is distinguished from standard duels by the inherent ability to do multiple normal summons and draws. It is designed for more casual gamers.
Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links
After looking back at the annual expansions the mobile game has received since its launch in 2016 and presenting some of the numbers it has achieved in its first 5 years, Konami has revealed that the world of Arc-V will come to Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links in 2021.
