After a shift in development and many delays, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has a real and set 2025 release date. The game will debut on August 21, 2025. The reveals during Level-5’s showcase confirmed it is now a console and computer-only experience and only appear digitally as well.

The new platforms for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road are now the  Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Every system will get it at the same time, and both cross-play and cross-save will be ed. The Switch 2 and Xbox Series X is new. So is the confirmation it will appear in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. However, it seems mobile for Android and iOS devices is gone.

We will only see the game available digitally. However, standard and deluxe editions will appear. The price for the base game on all platforms, Switch 2 excluded, is $69.99/£57.99/€69.99. The deluxe version is $79.99/£65.99/€79.99, or someone with the base version can that. If someone gets that edition, they get immediate access to Fei Rune, Football Clubroom and Rai Rai Noodles for Bond Town, the Promise Pendant experience booster accessory, and a Victory Jump goal celebration emote. If someone plays on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, then they also get early access. The announcement said this happens on August 19, 2025 JST, so that should be August 18, 2025 in other regions.

There will be a pre-order bonus for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road on every platform. If we buy early, we get a Dark Emperors Kit to wear, a Bracelet of Victory accessory that boosts earned experience, and a Character Training set. The set gives people a collection of beans to affect stats. So someone gets five each of the Acuity, Finesse, Intellect, Kick, Steadfast, Toughness, and Velocity Beans, for a total of 35 Beans.

Here is the full showcase, which includes additional details about platform-specific character boosts, gameplay features, and other details. Guest voice actors also ended up being confirmed at about the 30 minute mark, with figures like Hikakin voicing Winsor Compete and Hololive Vtuber Ichijou Ririka being pulled in to play Amelia Rainwalker.  

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will come to the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the release date is August 21, 2025.

Level-5 announced a new Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road presentation that suggests we’ll finally get a release date and final details about the soccer game. That will air during the Inazuma Eleven V Heroes Showcase 2025 at 5am PT/8am ET/2pm CET on April 11, 2025. It will appear on YouTube. That’s also about when the Beta Test Demo for this Inazuma Eleven game will disappear.

There will actually be two different versions of the stream. However, the content will be identical in each one. Level-5 is just sharing it in every game in which the game will be released. So there’s one for people who want the details in Japanese, and the other features subtitles in English or Traditional Chinese.

A few details did come up about it. The stream will last for around 30 minutes. It will cover the release date. It will also discuss some last details about the title.

Here’s the placeholder video:

This comes after multiple delays. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road first basically started as Inazuma Eleven: Balance of Ares, which eventually only ended up being an anime. Instead, Level-5 restarted development, which led to this entry. At first that was going to be Inazuma Eleven: Great Road of Heroes, before it became the title we should hopefully see in the near future. 

As for that Beta Test Demo, it is about to be gone. Level-5 already removed it from the Switch eShop. However, it will be taken off the PlayStation Store and Steam on April 11, 2025.

As for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, its release date continually got pushed back. At first, it had a 2023 release window. That slipped to 2024, which is when a Beta Test Demo ended up appearing. Its current release window is June 2025. 

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will debut on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, PC via Steam, and mobile devices, and we’ll learn the release date during the Inazuma Eleven V Heroes Showcase 2025 at 5am PT/8am ET/2pm CET on April 11, 2025.

Level-5 will hold a special Heroes Showcase stream for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, which will also be when it announces the game’s release date. The stream will take place on April 11, 2025, and will also include information on the game’s system requirements and specs.

You’ll be able to watch the Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Heroes Showcase on the official Level-5 YouTube channel. The link to the stream will appear at a later date. This stream will contain the finalized information for the game’s systems and mechanics, so there shouldn’t be any additions to it later on. This also means that, barring extenuating circumstances, there shouldn’t be any more delays to the game.

In a blog post, Level-5 CEO, Akihiro Hino, stated that he decided to hold a showcase to introduce all the features that’ll be in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. This is because it has so many features that a promotional video can’t possibly introduce them all. Currently, the website for the game lists the release window as June 2025. However, Hino hinted that the game may come out a little later than that due to the studio’s work on Fantasy Life i. However, he wants to assure players that the final date will be one “that players can look forward to,” which likely means it’ll be sometime in the near future.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will come out for the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Akihiro Hino, in an interview with 4Gamer, stated that 2025 will be a year of progress for Level-5. This means a worldwide release of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

In his comment, Hino states that all three titles are chock-full of what makes Level-5 games “Level-5,” while still providing new experiences for the player. He hopes to create works that’ll make people say, “I was waiting for something like this.” As well, Hino mentions the Inazuma Eleven movie that came out in Japan on December 27, 2024. Part of the movie is a compilation of the Football Frontier matches (season 1), while the other one is The Prologue to New Heroes which focuses on new protagonists Unmei and Haru.

While Level-5 announced Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam rather recently, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has been in development since 2016. Back then, it was supposed to be Inazuma Eleven Ares, and the Ares no Tenbin show started airing in 2018 to tie into it. After several delays and name changes, a beta version finally came out in 2024.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will come out in 2025 for the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will come out in April 2025 for the Nintendo Switch. Finally, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will come out for the Switch in 2025.

In yet another round of Level-5 game delays, the studio revealed that Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will see its release date pushed back from 2024 to June 2025. Additionally, a new story and gameplay trailer appeared.

First, you can check out the new trailer for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road revealing the game’s new release date of June 2025 below. The trailer is available in Japanese with subtitles in English and Chinese.

As a reminder, a global beta test for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road appeared on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC at different dates throughout 2024. The beta also included the first chapter of the game’s story mode after an update back in May 20, 2024. During the latest Level-5 Vision 2024 broadcast, Level-5 President Akihiro Hino revealed that the global beta test for the game received over 2 million s.

The latest title in the Inazuma Eleven series has had a complicated history, as the game originally started life as Inazuma Eleven Ares back in 2016. In the last 8 years, the game has seen its title change several times until its current iteration.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, mobile devices, and PC via Steam, and will release simultaneously in April 2025.

A new trailer for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road came out on September 16, 2023 and you can watch it via the official Level-5 YouTube channel. MAPPA animated the trailer. Previous projects that MAPPA worked on include Yuri!!! On Ice, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the latter seasons of Attack on Titan. This trailer also reveals a PS5 release for the game.

You can watch the Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road trailer here:

In the trailer, we can see the new protagonists such as Unmei Sasanami, Shoji Sakurazaki, Heita Kisoji, and Haru Endo. It takes place in Nagumohara Middle School, which is a school without soccer. However, the baseball team seems to be running the show, as they can freely use the practice grounds for as long as they like. As for Haru Endo, he seems to have some sort of relationship to the Endo we know from the original Inazuma Eleven. Despite his monstrous talent in the sport, he finds it boring.

T-Pistonz, which sang the theme songs for the previous Inazuma Eleven games and show, will return again. The theme song is “Egao ga Goal!,” and you can hear a bit of it in the trailer. There will be a story mode in which you take control of Unmei and explore Nagumohara and restore soccer to it. Raimon will appear as Nagumohara’s rival school. Over 4500 characters will appear from the previous series, and you can recruit them to make your own dream team.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will come out on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices in 2023.
