Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Postponed Until November for Additional Training

Oh man, okay, so here’s the deal—I’ve been all hyped up about this soccer RPG that’s coming out. Or, well, it was supposed to come out on August 21, but guess what? It’s getting pushed back almost three whole months. November 13 is the new date, and yeah, it’s kinda a bummer.

Apparently, they need extra time for stuff like voice recordings and making sure it works for different languages. Fair enough, right? But I can’t shake this feeling like, maybe there’s more to it? I mean, voice acting’s great and all, but is that really the whole story? Or am I just overthinking it? Classic me!

So, the folks over at Level-5 threw up this 14-minute thing on YouTube—yeah, 14 minutes!—explaining why the delay is happening. Didn’t really expect to get that deep-dive but, hey, here we are. Suppose it’s worth a watch if you’re super invested in the nitty-gritty.

Anyway, even if the wait sucks, it’s like, maybe it’s worth it if the game’s gonna be amazing in the end. Who knows? Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will still come out on all the cool platforms—PS5, PS4, both Switches, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Every gamer gets a piece of the pie.

So what’s your take on this? Feeling let down or just, like, chill with waiting? That video from Level-5 got you feeling any better? Let me know what’s bouncing around in your head!
