Studio LEVEL-5 is marking a milestone date — the cult football role-playing game series Inazuma Eleven has turned 18 years old! The very first installment debuted on the Nintendo DS console in Japan on August 22, 2008, launching an entire media franchise with spin-offs, anime, and sequels.
Celebratory Message from Akihiro Hino
In honor of the anniversary, LEVEL-5 founder and president Akihiro Hino published a special video message to fans. In it, he recalls the journey the franchise has taken over nearly two decades and discusses the work on the game Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road for Nintendo Switch family platforms.
What Does Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Offer?
- New storyline: events unfold 25 years after the original story. The plot centers on Destin Billows, who seeks a world without football, and "Football Monster" Harper Evans from the prestigious Raimon school.
- Huge roster: over 5,400 characters to collect, train, and build your own dream team.
- Deep multiplayer: a rich competitive mode to play against other coaches around the world.
