Get your special shots ready, because the pitch is about to get a whole lot more intense! Bandai Namco just dropped the news we’ve been waiting for: CAPTAIN TSUBASA 2: WORLD FIGHTERS is officially launching on August 28, 2026.
Whether you're a die-hard fan of the classic anime or just love soccer games that defy the laws of physics, this sequel is shaping up to be a total game-changer.
The new story trailer gives us a glimpse of the grind. You’ll follow Tsubasa Ozora and the squad through a grueling qualifying gauntlet against tough opponents like Thailand, Saudi Arabia, and China.
But that’s just the warm-up. Once you hit the World Youth Championship, the stakes skyrocket. We’re talking legendary clashes against powerhouse nations like Brazil, Argentina, and the Netherlands. If you thought the first game was intense, the pressure in World Fighters is being cranked up to eleven.

Bandai isn't just giving us a roster update; they’ve significantly overhauled the "Super Action Soccer" mechanics:

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is coming to basically every platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Digital pre-orders are live right now for PS5, Xbox, and PC. If you’re a collector who prefers a physical disc or cartridge, those pre-orders are also open for all consoles.
