Developer and publisher Level-5 has announced it will host a new Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road broadcast titled “INA-DAI” on October 21 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET / 22:00 JST, giving fans one last deep dive into the long-awaited football JRPG before launch next month. The stream will air on the studio’s official YouTube channel, with English subtitles to be added to the archived version later (via Gematsu).
According to the announcement, the presentation will spotlight Story Mode, Chronicle Mode, and Versus Mode, the three main pillars defining Victory Road‘s mix of traditional JRPG storytelling and arcade-style football action. Story Mode follows the journey of new protagonist Unmei Sasanami, while Chronicle Mode brings together more than 4,500 characters from across the series’ history. Versus Mode, meanwhile, offers both local and online multiplayer, giving players a chance to test their squads in classic Inazuma fashion.
Victory Road marks the franchise’s first mainline entry in 15 years, the last being 2010’s Inazuma Eleven 3. The title will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on November 13. Victory Road‘s launch will also mark the first time in Inazuma Eleven franchise history that an entry is released at the same time globally — in the past, other regions have had to wait years after initial release.
The development of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has been a long, winding journey. Originally revealed as Inazuma Eleven: Ares all the way back in 2016, the title has undergone several reworks, name changes, and delays. Now, with its global release finally in sight, this upcoming stream should provide the clearest picture yet of how the final game balances nostalgia, new mechanics, and modern presentation.
Expect gameplay footage, developer commentary, and likely a few surprises as Level-5 gears up for one of its biggest releases in years.
