Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! seeing English release on Switch in December

Today, Konami announced that Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! will be getting an English release in the west next month. It will launch on December 7.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! previously launched on Switch as Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale!! in Japan. The game originally released back in August. Back in July, localization was first confirmed.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou 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 game has an original story with new characters, lets players explore a full single-player campaign as they hone their Dueling skills, build up a deck “from a massive, wide-ranging selection of cards”, take on others locally or online in two-player multiplayer, and more.

For the uninitiated, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Saikyou Battle Royale!! is based on the Duel style of Yuga Ohdo, from the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. Rush Duel is an alternate ruleset from the standard Master Duel used in the traditional Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
