JULY 2015

Cardfight!! Online Banner

In July, Cardfight!! Online was announced at Anime Expo 2015 and Japan Expo 2015. All that ensuing excitement after the announcements was truly a sight to behold!

In the following months, Cardfight!! Online was swiftly placed on Steam Greenlight and was greenlit within a week thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic support.

Cardfight!! Online is currently slated for an early 2016 release. Meanwhile, in order to satiate the curiosity of our fans, Bushiroad hosted three Twitter Q&A sessions whereby many more elements of the game was revealed. For fans who missed out on the sessions, do check out our Cardfight!! Online website for the full Twitter round-up.

In addition, you can now catch a glimpse of the highly anticipated game in our latest Cardfight!! Vanguard G GIRS Crisis episode! Thank you for all your support throughout our endeavor and we hope to present to you a whole new world of Cardfight!! Vanguard soon!

AUGUST 2015

BWC2015

August marked the start of the Bushiroad World Championship (BWC) 2015. This year, the BWC 2015 was held at 24 different locations. It was also the first time the BWC 2015 has ventured to locations such as Costa Rica, Spain and Italy.

Mermaid Idol Summer Set

Let’s not forget that there were many things that were exclusive to the BWC 2015! The Mermaid Idol Summer Set made waves when it was first released at the BWC 2015 regional qualifiers. Containing 3 clear files and 9 PR cards from the highly popular clan <Bermuda Triangle>, the Mermaid Idol Summer Set was a hit amongst players with everyone catching a little summer fever.

The BWC 2015 was also the first time that an event collection for the Bushiroad Online Shop was organized! Players could now purchase their desired items on the Bushiroad Online Shop and collect them at selected BWC 2015 regional qualifiers. This event collection was such a success that a similar one is in the works, so stay tuned to updates regarding the Bushiroad Online Shop!

With all the regional qualifiers and continental finals concluding successfully, we can now look forward to the BWC 2015 World Finals taking place in Tokyo on January 9, 2016. Aren’t you curious to find out who will make it to the pinnacle of the BWC 2015?

Cardfight!! Vanguard GIRS Crisis

SEPTEMBER 2015

A brand new season of the series Cardfight!! Vanguard G was announced in September. Titled Cardfight!! Vanguard G GIRS Crisis, the new story arc occurs when the Federation of International Vanguard Associations (FIVA) issues a new “Generation Quest”, or “G Quest”. Fighters who complete this “G Quest” will stand a chance to become a Clan Leader, which is the new aim of series protagonist, Chrono Shindou, and his team TRY3.

Fans of the long running animation were pleasantly surprised to see characters from the previous seasons of Cardfight!! Vanguard, such as Leon Soryu, Naoki Ishida, Miwa Taishi, Ren Suzugamori and Toshiki Kai making appearances during the “G Quest”. In addition, two new characters Luna Yumizuki and Am Chouno joined the cast this season and now have their own following as well.

The animation premiered in October and the Japanese dubbed episodes enjoyed a same day release of the broadcasted episodes on the official YouTube channel. The English dubbed episodes for Cardfight!! Vanguard G GIRS Crisis was made available soon thereafter, commencing in early December.
