Sports anime fans are in for a treat as we finally have a concrete Blue Lock Project: World Champion global release date. The announcement coincides with the end of the Japanese version’s first anniversary celebrations.
Blue Lock Project: World Champion, known mostly as Blue Lock PWC, is Rudel Inc’s mobile game adaptation of one of the most popular sports anime of the last year. The story follows a group of high school-aged soccer players who all aim to join the Japanese national team as they compete against each other in cutthroat matches and challenges. The Japanese version, which debuted in December 2022, has already won the award for Best Sports Manager Game at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2023, so we’ve got high hopes for the global version.
Unlike the types of football games that we’re used to in the West, Blue Lock PWC instead functions more like an idol game like D4DJ Groovy Mix or Ensemble Stars Music. You get to personally choose and train your favorite strikers from the show by increasing their stats and learning more about them through visual novel-esque storylines. Then, assemble your dream team of strikers and face off against rival groups to claim victory.
When is the Blue Lock Project: World Champion global release date?
Blue Lock PWC’s global Twitter page announced that the game will go live on April 23, 2024. It’s available to play via the App Store or Google Play, but the announcement post says that this launch is worldwide “excluding some regions”. We’ve yet to find a definitive answer on exactly which regions are excluded, so make sure you double-check before pre-registering.
What are the Blue Lock Project: World Champion pre-registration rewards?
