Bandai Namco has a new trailer for Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters, and it comes with a firm date: the soccer-action sequel launches August 28, 2026. The clip walks through the game's modes, and the headline numbers are big — 22 national teams and over 110 playable characters.
Quick answer
Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is published by Bandai Namco Entertainment America and releases August 28, 2026 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). It packs 22 national teams and 110+ playable characters, with pre-order bonuses (national-team and World Youth jerseys, an Early Unlock Pack) and an Ultimate Edition bundling five uniforms, two menu themes, three ball customizations, and a season pass.
What the trailer shows
The new trailer is a tour of the different game modes rather than a single-match showcase. Bandai Namco didn't spell out every mode in the announcement, but the framing is clear: this sequel is leaning on breadth — a big roster, a full national-team lineup, and enough customization (jerseys, ball skins, menu themes) to keep the presentation loud.
Here's the trailer:
The read
Captain Tsubasa is the anime that made a generation care about soccer, and the games keep leaning on that over-the-top, physics-optional energy. If the on-pitch drama is what you're after in anime form, the recent Blue Lock coverage is the modern counterpart worth a look — and you can see where the Captain Tsubasa anime sits on the SenpaiRanks catalog page.
