Bushiroad announced that Cardfight Vanguard will be collaborating with Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road. It will release two trial decks and booster packs, with more information to come later.
During the Bushiroad announcement event for 2026, Akihiro Hino (the CEO of Level-5) appeared in a pre-recorded message. He first congratulated Bushiroad on Vanguard’s 15th anniversary. Then, he revealed the upcoming collaboration. Characters from Inazuma Eleven, regardless of generation, will appear as cards in Cardfight Vanguard. This means that we won’t only be getting the new additions from Victory Road, such as Unmei or Haru, but we’ll also be seeing characters from the original series, Go, and Ares. At the end of the message, Hino says that he’s interested to see how the characters’ hissatsu techniques will translate into card format.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is the latest entry in the Inazuma Eleven series. It came out in November 2024 after years of delays. It’s both a sports game (superdimensional soccer) and an RPG, with modes that let you explore a new story and team, or lets you relive events from the anime series.
Characters from Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will appear as cards in Cardfight Vanguard in the future, with Bushiroad to reveal more details later on. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch, Switch 2, and Windows PC via Steam.
