The classic manga series Captain Tsubasa is heading to the blockchain with its new game titled ‘Captain Tsubasa Rivals’, which is scheduled to launch in late 2022.

The project aims to give players the opportunity to interact with characters from the manga, and play with them in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT). The official website for the game is now available.

Captain Tsubasa embraces Web 3.0 and the blockchain

Captain Tsubasa Rivals is a mobile game where players can compete using NFT characters from the original manga.

The source material the game is based on, Captain Tsubasa is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yōichi Takahashi from April 13, 1981 to May 9, 1988.

Users will be able to trade rival tiles, as well as other in-game items that can be obtained through battling other players.

All of the characters in the game will be generative NFTs, meaning that no two will ever be the same, or have the same characteristics attached to them.

Although there may be NFTs bearing the same name, each card will be automatically generated by a program and will contain different images as well as parameters.

Players must strategize around the special moves and characteristics of each card in their position. TSUBASAUT is set to be the original cryptocurrency used in the game and can be earned by participating in battles in the game’s Player vs Environment (PvE) mode.

Players can use these tokens to develop their characters, which they can then choose to sell through the in-game market.

The game also features generative background music (BGM) technology, meaning that in-game soundtracks will be automatically generated through programmatic combinations, in collaboration with Japanese musician Shinichi Osawa, who goes by the stage name Mondo Grosso.

For those interested in further details on how the game works, the team has released an official portal that explains the card rules, rarities, skills and economics of the NFT aspect. It also outlines the game’s two main modes – fighting with rivals in the original story (PvE), and competing against other users (PvP).

On the other side

• While Rivals is not the first game developed under the Captain Tsubasa banner, it will be the first iteration to harness the power of the blockchain.
• Captain Tsubasa Rivals joins a growing GameFi sphere filled with thousands of games, so it’s sure to face stiff competition.
