An original TCG based on Love Live will come out some time in Spring 2025. You can check out the teaser site here.
There’s virtually no information on the card game as of yet, though more details will appear as we approach the release window. The site features almost all of the main girls from the Love Live series. According to the announcement Tweet, 5% of the sales from the initial release of the first booster pack will be donated to the Noto Peninsula restoration efforts. The area has still not fully recovered from the earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024.
Most of the direct replies to the Tweet aren’t very positive or optimistic. Some people ask if Bushiroad still remembers School Idol Collection. Others aren’t too keen on the idea of Bushiroad being in charge of the TCG. Card games from Bushiroad include Cardfight!! Vanguard, Future Card Buddyfight, and Weiß Schwarz. Goodwill towards Vanguard is not as high as before due to multiple reboots and poor management. Though a different department, Western Love Live fans also suffered due to Bushiroad’s business decisions in the past with School Idol Festival 2: Miracle Live. Skeptics suggest that Konami should be the one working on the Love Live card game instead. The ones who are excited for it seem to look forward to creating a deck that feature their favorite units.
The Love Live TCG will come out some time in Spring 2025, with more details to appear later.
