(Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Hare Izumi) announces that the English version of the smartphone game "BLUE LOCK Project: World Champion," based on the TV anime "BLUE LOCK," will begin service in various countries on April 23, 2024 (UCT).

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

Based on the popular soccer comic, story by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and art by Yusuke Nomura, which has sold more than 30 million copies in total and won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the Juvenile Division, the manga is serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine".

This is a new type of soccer training simulation game in which players train strikers, build the strongest team, and compete in fierce games against rivals.

We got the No.1 download number in the Japanese app store in the first half of 2023, and also won "Best Sports Manager Game" at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2023!

The Japanese version of the game celebrates its first anniversary of domestic release on December 30, 2023. It's getting even more exciting, and has experience in getting the No.1 download number in the Japanese App Store in BLUE LOCK's mobile game.
