YU-GI-OH! RUSH DUEL: DAWN OF THE BATTLE ROYALE!! Set to Launch on Nintendo Switch in Early December

Yu-Gi-Oh! fans outside of Japan will finally be able to experience the hype that is Rush Duels via the new video game Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Dawn of the Battle Royale!!. Rush Duel is a new way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! introduced via the Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens anime. At first glance it appears to be very similar to Speed Duels, but it does feature several new rules like being able to summon a ton of monsters on a turn. I’ve heard a lot of people in the community get really excited for the format to hit the west and it looks like fun.

Already a bestseller in Japan’s retail sales charts, Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! offers an exciting, brand-new way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Summon powerful monsters repeatedly to your heart’s content, filling the field up with your cards. On your next turn, replace your hand back to full, no matter how many cards you played. The momentum can swing at any moment in this electric new Yu-Gi-Oh! title; one minute you’re in total control, the next your opponent suddenly has the advantage.

In a new trailer, Konami revealed that Dawn of the Battle Royale!! would launch in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania on December 7 as an exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. In the game, players will experience an original story, deck building, local and online multiplayer, and more.
