Unleash Super Moves In Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters On Nintendo Switch

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is in development for Nintendo Switch, news that was shared in this week’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation.

From developer Tamsoft, the game is based on the long-running anime and manga series and invites you to create your own character and join Tsubasa on his quest. You will forge new friendships and fight new rivals in your effort to bring the trophy back home.

With the chance to unleash super moves for everything from dribbling and tackling to passing and shots on goal, this game has been pitched as “the biggest Captain Tsubasa game yet.” You can expect 22 national teams, over 110 playable characters, and more than 150 new moves.

The action on the field has been “significantly enhanced,” with its Super Action Soccer gameplay chaining together superhuman plays to “create unforgettable matches and action-packed sequences.” There is a new system that makes blocking goal shots more tactical, pitting the goalkeeper against the shooter to let both players “experience and counter jaw-dropping super shots and blocks from characters of the original series.”

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions sound composer Tadayoshi Makino reprises his role, producing more than 90 new BGM tracks for the upcoming game.

The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:

A Soccer World That is Bigger Than Before: Featuring 22 national teams, over 110 playable characters, and more than 150 cutscenes highlighting moves on the pitch! Previously unseen teams from the manga and original teams and characters clash in glorious, meticulous animation. The excitement of these once-in-a-lifetime moments has never been higher!
New and Improved Gameplay: Action on the field has been significantly enhanced! New super moves increase the intensity of every part of the game. Now, even when you pass, dribble, tackle or block, you can dominate the field with your own special techniques. Even blocking goal shots gets more tactical!

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2026.
