Level-5 announces worldwide release for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, set to release in 2023 for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices
During its Level-5 Vision 2023 event, Level-5 has formally announced a worldwide release for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, set to launch for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices in 2023.
Victory Road was originally announced as Inazuma Eleven Ares back in 2016, but frequent delays and infrequent updates about the soccer RPG left uncertainty in the state of the game, let alone if Level-5 would manage to release an English localization. It looks like patience will finally pay off with a release later this year.
A new trailer, description, and screenshots can be found below, The official website is here.
