In February, Konami revealed Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution for Switch. Although it hasn’t been announced for any territories other than Japan, we may have some hope for a release overseas.
Konami has filed trademarks for Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution in a few new regions. It’s now registered in the United States, Europe, and South Korea.
