LEVEL-5 Inc. hereby announces that a free major update for INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road, which includes the downloadable content Galaxy Route and LBX Route, was released on Sunday, December 21, and is available on Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam®.
Starting Sunday, December 21, the Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy route and the Inazuma Eleven GO vs. Little Battlers eXperience W route became available in Chronicle Mode.
This update adds a wide range of special moves and characters from each series and enables the hyper-dimensional enhancement feature "Totems." In the Galaxy Route, each planet’s stadium introduces unique effects, providing a variety of fresh mechanics during matches. Meanwhile, in the
Inazuma VS LBX Route, players can face teams such as Inazuma Legend National, which appears at the beginning of the film, as well as the formidable Despairdoes, all within this crossover with LBX.
The update also introduces teams from Inazuma Eleven GO: Shine／Dark and Inazuma Eleven GO 2 Chrono Stone : Thunderflash／Wildfire, allowing players to challenge teams that were previously only accessible under specific conditions, now all playable in this single title. Additional
routes are planned for future updates, with further details to be announced later.
This update introduces a new rarity tier, FABLED, which surpasses HERO. Players of this rarity can switch between all builds and have their moves reassigned, options not available to HERO-tier players, making them highly customizable.
High-rarity Spirits are required to obtain FABLED players and can be redeemed at the newly added shop, the Atrium of the Untamed.
Hope you enjoy the more robust team progression that this update brings.
The RE Story feature allows players to replay the story of INAZUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road from the very beginning, revisiting South Cirrus Junior High while retaining their progression from after completing the story. In addition, Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Spirits will begin dropping in RE Story.
This update introduces the teams Earth Eleven and South Cirrus Junior High A/B/C to BB Stadium, providing a wider variety of matchups and allowing dream matches between your favorite teams.
2P Tag is a multiplayer mode that allows players to enjoy matches together with family and friends. One player assists the other using buff sigils during Focus Battles and in offensive and defensive zones to gain the upper hand.
During matches, the two players alternate between controlling the team and taking on a support role that places buff sigils, offering a cooperative and engaging way to play together.
In online play, the Commander Mode previously used in Ranked Matches has been retired and replaced with the newly added Commander Ladder, where the player acts solely as a commander.
In addition, the Fast Commander Mode for Compete Against Bots matches enables faster progression.
Players can now choose to align all combo moves with those featured in the story or anime, switching between automatic member-selection and story/anime-based members at any time.
This feature is ideal for players who want to faithfully reproduce combo moves from the story or anime.
