Level-5 CEO: Next Inazuma Eleven Soccer Game to Be Developed for Smartphones Also

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Also targeting "high-end game machines"; anime premieres in October

Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino said in an interview with the Nikkei Trendy Net website on Tuesday that his company is planning on developing the Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin game for smartphones alongside "high-end game machines" at the same time. Hino did not state any specific platforms or a release date for the game.

The story of Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin is set after the first Inazuma Eleven, but will take place in a parallel world from all other Inazuma Eleven games apart from the first because the story has taken a different course.

The cast includes, from left to right in the image above:

The game will feature a wearable link device called the "Eleven Band" that will be compatible with the game. Manufactured by Takara Tomy, the device allows players to exercise to accumulate points to raise the statistics of in-game characters.

The game's television anime will premiere in October.

A "completely new episode 27" for Inazuma Eleven will screen at the "Inazuma Eleven Dai-Fukkatsusai" event in September. The spinoff episode will lead up to the premiere of Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin and remake the earlier anime's existing 27th episode with a diverging story. The Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin anime's first episode will also have an advance screening at the event.

Level-5 released the first Inazuma Eleven video game on the Nintendo DS in 2008. The Inazuma Eleven soccer anime franchise is based on Level-5's game series of the same name. The original 127-episode anime series aired between 2008-2011, and has since inspired the Inazuma Eleven GO, Inazuma Eleven GO 2: Chrono Stone, and Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy sequel series. The television anime franchise ended its five-and-a-half year run in March 2014. The anime franchise also includes three films and the Inazuma Eleven Go vs. Danbōru Senki W crossover film.

Nintendo released a 3DS port of the original Inazuma Eleven game in North America in February 2014.
