Two Games Announced During Yu-Gi-Oh! Digital Event
Today was the Yu-Gi-Oh! Digital Event, and along with it was a lot of announcements for the brand, including a western release for a previously Japanese-only title and the announcement of a brand new game.
The first is one we’ve covered previously, and that is Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale!! The previously only Japanese title is officially coming to the west in Fall 2021, so western fans will not have to wait much longer after the initial Japanese release to get their hands on this one.
Since last year, more and more Duelists have been enjoying the Yi-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel card game. The feature of this game is that you can easily turn the tables through multiple draws and Summons. You can play Rush Duel digitally with the upcoming game “Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale!!” and through this game, you can learn the rules of Rush Duel. If you become confident with your Rush Skills, you can collect cards digitally to build your own deck and challenge your friends or even Duelists around the world! We believe that those who want to play card games casually will also enjoy this game. We’re hoping that this will be a new entry point for all ages, from new players learning to play card games to older players looking for a new fun way to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

The second announce is the more exciting one, as it is a brand new title for the series. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, a digital card game that lets you play Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG/TCG, is in development for the Nintendo Switch and other platforms.
You can check out the digital event yourself for more details on both games:
As the name suggest, Master Duel is a game that can be played using the Master Rules of the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG/TCG. With a blueprint of “Online Yu-Gi-Oh! for both players and audiences,” Mater Duel will be available on many platforms such as PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam, iOS, and Android. Please try playing the game on a large screen TV. You will be amazed at the resolution that allows you to see the text of the cards placed on the field, and you will be impressed by the sound effects that bring them to life.
We have tried to keep a good balance between the presentation and the tempo of Duels. Also, in cards games, it is often difficult for audiences to understand what is going on. But in this game, we are confident that audiences can also enjoy watching it. For those who are new to OCG/TCG, I recommend “Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.” Now that Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel will be available for consoles, we have prepared a tutorial within the game to make it easy to learn. Those who are new to OCG/TCG can also easily learn to play Master Duel as we’ve prepared a tutorial element within the game. “Duel Links” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution” are positioned as character games that allow players to enjoy the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime, but “Master Duel” is differentiated as a game that allows players to fully enjoy the OCG/TCG.
We hope this new game will be enjoyed by everyone all over the world, there will be tournaments offered at many levels for competitive and casual play. We also want to make it an official event at the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship, the pinnacle of the OCG/TCG. I’m looking forward to meeting Duelists from all over the world through this game.
