LEVEL-5 has revealed Inazuma Eleven: Cross, a new mobile game developed for Android and iOS in collaboration with Aiming. Inazuma Eleven: Cross includes simulation gameplay with command-based controls and an original story with a new protagonist.
Similarly to Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, players will become a coach and build their team. Team building is a major component of gameplay and strategizing, along with actually playing matches. Players don’t control each player individually but instead act as a coach who determines the outcome based on team customization and in-game decisions. Matches can be played automatically, and player data from Inazuma Eleven: Cross will be compatible with the upcoming Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road sequel.
A closed beta test for Inazuma Eleven: Cross will begin on January 29 (JST), and recruitment for the beta test is now open in Japan on the game’s official website. Only 20,000 users will be accepted, and the beta test is only available to users in Japan.
LEVEL-5 also revealed new details about the second major update for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, titled Ares & Fabled Seed. This new update is scheduled to launch on January 28. The Ares & Fabled Seed update will introduce new features and the opening of the Ares Route in Chronicle Mode. Players can expect “a blazing football drama about boys and girls striving for the very top.” LEVEL-5 will also distribute the “Fabled Seed,” a special item that lets players upgrade one character of choice to the Fabled rarity.
