Nintendo Switch on August 12 in Japan.
First-print copies include three exclusive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and customers who pre-orders the game will receive an amiibo card.
The game will include characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens anime. Konami debuted the Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel card game in Japan last year.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens anime premiered in April 2020. The fifth episode aired in May 2020, then the anime's official website TV Tokyo then resumed broadcast in June 2020 and aired episodes 6-9. TV Tokyo then aired new episodes starting from episode 10 in August 2020.
The anime features a protagonist in elementary school for the first time in the franchise. The anime has a new "Rush Duel" rule and takes place in the future in the town of Gōha. Yūga Ōdō, a fifth-grade student, loves both inventions and dueling. His classmate Rook is a self-styled "number one duelist at Gōha 7 Elementary School." Gakuto is the school's student council president, and Romin is Yūga's classmate.
