Confirmed: the basics

  • What: a mobile football sim — Inazuma Eleven: Cross — for iOS and Android.
  • Who: developed by LEVEL-5 in collaboration with Aiming.
  • Where: released in Japan on June 9, 2026. No other region confirmed yet.
  • Cost: free-to-play with in-app purchases.

Confirmed: story and gameplay

The game features an original story with a new protagonist, Shiozawa Yo, who works as an assistant coach — a fresh angle for the series. Gameplay is simulation-style with command-based controls: you build the team, set tactics, and make coaching decisions, with matches able to play out automatically. If you played Victory Road, the coach's-chair perspective will feel familiar. Read more in our story and lore breakdown.

LEVEL-5 revealed the game in early 2026, ran a closed beta in Japan from January 29, 2026 (20,000 players), and launched it in June. It also appeared in LEVEL-5's Tokyo Game Show 2026 lineup, and the company tied it to a Japan National Team 2026 project with commemorative artwork.

Not confirmed: global release

International rollout is planned but undated. There is no official global pre-registration, no confirmed release window, and no Switch/console version — any article telling you otherwise is speculating. For the current status, see our release status guide.

What to ignore

  • "Global APK download" sites — unofficial APKs of a Japan-only release can't be verified and are a malware risk.
  • Invented details — Switch ports, cross-play, specific story arcs, and exact global dates that no official source has stated.
  • Anyone charging for "early access" or "global accounts" — scams, full stop.
