We’ve been waiting around 17 years for LEVEL-5’s soccer RPG series Inazuma Eleven to kick-off on PlayStation, so we suppose one final delay won’t hurt.
Originally due out on 21st August, new entry Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road will now launch on 13th November for PS5 and PS4.
While we would have been horrified by this announcement in the past, the success of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has restored our faith in the legendary Japanese developer, so we trust this will be for the best.

Here’s what the studio said:
“Due to the content volume exceeding our initial expectations, additional time is required for voice recording, multi-language localisation, and other related processes. As we work toward the final stages of development, we have decided to adjust the release date to ensure the best possible quality. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to all the fans who have been eagerly waiting for a long time, and truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.”
So everything’s going well, the team just needs a bit more time to handle all of the voice acting and localisation aspects. That’s fair, and it’s obviously worth getting right.
We’ll see you out on the field later this year.
