Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road ‘Contenders for Glory DLC’ Update Releases July 3

LEVEL-5 has announced that the “Contenders for Glory DLC” update for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will launch on July 3. A new trailer for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Contenders for Glory DLC update was also released, with more details to follow soon.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is available now digitally for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Previously, the New Kick-Off DLC update was released on June 11 alongside the physical release of the Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Nintendo Switch 2 Edition in Japan. The update brought Seasonal Players for the official online tournament Victory Road, implemented a new feature, Synergies, and added the new Victory Road Route to Chronicle Mode, which follows the story of Destin Billows (Unmei Sasanami).

LEVEL-5 and Aiming’s new free-to-play mobile game Inazuma Eleven: Cross launched on June 9 for Android via Google Play and iOS via App Store in Japan. 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 may 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.
