LOS ANGELES – August 7, 2023 – Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. (KONAMI) is delighted to announce that Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS will receive a major update next month that will include “Rush Duel,” a dynamic, exciting new way to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

As revealed by Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS producer Akitsu Terashima on Sunday at the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship, Rush Duel is coming to the hit digital card game on September 28. It will launch alongside a brand-new world based on the popular animated series, Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS.

Rush Duel will offer a simpler, streamlined Yu-Gi-Oh! playstyle that will entertain players new and old, and the update promises to give all players a fresh start.

Rush Duel is an alternate Yu-Gi-Oh! format, distinct from Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) rulesets. In Rush Duel, players can draw multiple cards at once, refilling their hand to full on each turn. Players can also Summon powerful monsters back-to-back, filling up the field with cards in fast-paced, thrilling Duels.

When the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS world arrives on September 28, both the existing Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS format and the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel format will be available to play.

“We hope both will be enjoyed by everyone all over the world,” Terashima said. “Please look forward to the next big update in Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL LINKS.”
