After a long and troubled development, Level-5 recently released Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, the latest installment in the developer’s iconic soccer simulation franchise.

During a recent INA-DAI broadcast, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has already started work writing the script for the next Inazuma Eleven game, saying that it will mark a brand new Inazuma Eleven for the Reiwa Era of Japan.

“As for the sequel to Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, I have already started writing the scenario. As a ‘new Inazuma Eleven‘ that begins in the Reiwa era, I will do my best to deliver surprise and excitement to everyone once again. Please look forward to future announcements.”

Level-5 previously stated that game data from Victory Road would carry over to future Inazuma Eleven games in some form, so a new installment was pretty much a guarantee. Hopefully, fans will not have to wait as long as they did for Victory Road, which took almost 9 years to release from its announcement in 2016.
