Developed by ALPSE, Captain Tsubasa: My Golden XI (キャプテン翼 My Golden XI) adapts the world of Captain Tsubasa into a mobile-first experience where players assemble their dream squads, train iconic characters, and relive classic story arcs. The game emphasizes strategic football matches, character progression, and cinematic cutscenes.
What is new? Well, unlike traditional sports titles, My Golden XI integrates RPG mechanics, allowing players to unlock skills, evolve characters, and participate in seasonal events tied to the manga’s storyline. And get s a chibi design style, so, it looks like we are getting a not so difficult but fun game.
The title recreates the world of Captain Tsubasa (2018) and Captain Tsubasa Season 2: Junior Youth Arc, condensing the charm of a franchise that has captivated fans since its first broadcast in 1983. Players can select their favorite characters from the series, train them through Special Training, and form their ultimate “Golden Eleven.” Training choices directly affect final stats and skills, adding depth to player development.
Gameplay emphasizes team formation and tactical freedom, allowing fans to combine trained players into custom squads with chosen positions and formations. Iconic special moves such as Tsubasa’s Drive Shot and Hyuga’s Tiger Shot have been faithfully recreated, ensuring authenticity for longtime fans. Matches against rivals are designed to be thrilling, with nail-biting finishes that highlight the competitive spirit of the anime.
For now, it’s only available in Japan. We don’t know if it will be released globally—that will depend on its success—but if you’re interested, here’s the link to the Google Play Store for Android users, and the link to the iOS App Store for iPhone users. More news in the official X account.
