BLUE LOCK the first mobile game to be distributed overseas!
ーPre-registration for the English localized version of the game has started in various countries!ー

Rudel.Inc is pleased to announce that it has decided to develop an English localized version of the mobile game "BLUE LOCK Project: World Champion" based on the TV anime "BLUE LOCK" and provide the service worldwide (excluding some regions).

▼BLUE LOCK Project: World Champion Game Introduction
The TV animation "BLUE LOCK," the subject of the game, was broadcast on TV Asahi's nationwide network ”NUMAnimation” slot from October 2022, and has drawn a great deal of attention, ranking high in popularity on various video streaming services. With a movie version scheduled to be released in this April, this year is certain to be another enormous breakthrough for this series.

Based on a popular soccer comic by Muneyuki Kaneshiro (an original writer) and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, the series has sold more than 30 million copies and won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the Juvenile Division of "Weekly Shonen Magazine".
 
The game is a new type of soccer simulation game in which players train strikers, form the strongest team, and engage in fierce battles with rivals. This is BLUE LOCK's the most hit mobile game title, which recorded as the most downloaded app in Japan in the first half of 2023 (*1), celebrated the first anniversary of its domestic release on December 30, 2023, and is showing ever-increasing momentum.
