The blockchain game Captain Tsubasa -Rivals- will have dedicated mobile app versions on iOS and Android, and its release date is now known. Mint Town and KLab’s subsidiary BLOCKSMITH&Co. announced that they will release the game app as a free-to-play title on Wednesday, January 24, 2024. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The Japanese press release noted that the currently ongoing web browser version has a high entry hurdle due to it being a Web3-based game. It gave assurance that the addition of a free-to-play version and credit card payment for in-app purchases will provide easier access to the game. People who have played the original browser game will also be able to link their accounts in the mobile apps.
The mobile app pre-registration webpage mentioned a campaign where the developers will add more Gacha Tickets and Amazon Gift code winners with a higher number of pre-registrants. The Japanese press release revealed that they have reached the third tier with over 80,000 pre-registrants. The fourth and last tier at 100,000 people will add one more Gacha Ticket for a total of four and 50 more Amazon Gift code winners to 100 in total.
Captain Tsubasa -Rivals- was originally revealed as a blockchain-based game in October 2022. It has a feature where every character generated is unique with their own theme music and card design. Although the game was originally intended for release on mobile devices, it is also playable on PCs via web browsers.
The developers gradually added more game modes throughout 2023, as listed in the roadmap on the official website. The features added post-launch include Rival Mode, PvP Mode, and Arena Mode. While the team has just confirmed the mobile app version’s release date, it missed the initially planned window of Q4 2023.
Captain Tsubasa -Rivals- is immediately available on PC and mobile devices via web browsers. The dedicated free-to-play app version of Captain Tsubasa -Rivals- will appear for iOS and Android on January 24, 2024.
