Rudel announced that it is developing Blue Lock Project: World Champion, a mobile game that is based on the TV anime Blue Lock.
The game is described as a “new sense soccer training simulation game” in which players train the striker, form the strongest team, and engage in fierce battles with rivals. It will also include content that allows players to relive the original story of the anime and fully enjoy the worldview of Blue Lock. The mobile game is set to release this winter and more information will be unveiled later on.
Pre-registration for the game also opens now. Interested players can pre-register by following the official Twitter, but the pre-registration rewards are yet to be revealed.
▍About Blue Lock
Written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, the mange has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since August 2018. An anime television series adaptation by Eight Bit is set to premiere in October 2022.
The story is set in 2018 when the Japanese national team finished 16th in the FIFA World Cup. As a result, the Japanese Football Union hires the soccer enigma Ego Jinpachi. His master plan to lead Japan to stardom is Blue Lock, a training regimen designed to create the world’s greatest egotist striker. Those who fail will never again be permitted to represent Japan. Yoichi Isagi, an unknown high school soccer player who is conflicted about his playing style, decides to join the program in order to become the best player in the world.
