It feels like I’ve been writing about Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road for ages now across its announcement, delays, name change, TGS showings and more. If you’ve not kept up with it, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is the newest game in the series, and it is due worldwide on iOS, Android, PS5, PS4, and Switch. It was originally announced back in 2016. Shaun wrote about it from TGS back that year as well. Today, the Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Switch exclusive beta has been confirmed for a global release next week on March 28th. It will be a 5GB download and include a few modes from the game. The full game is still planned for PS5, PS4, and mobile platforms in addition to Switch. Alongside the beta, a new gameplay trailer has been released. Watch it below:

Ahead of next week’s Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road beta launch, check out the official game website here and the website for the Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road beta test here. During the game’s last showcase, it was confirmed that Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will support cross play and cross save on PS5, PS4, and Switch, but not on mobile. The slide at the end also mentioned a difference in specifications for the mobile version. No more details are available on that front, but I hope the mobile version has feature parity. Hopefully this doesn’t get delayed again and that the beta is good. I’ll definitely try it next week. Have you played an Inazuma Eleven game before and what do you think of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road so far?
