Fans may not have been happy to hear that the new Yu-Gi-Oh! anime was being delayed, but the push has given them time to learn more about the series. Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V ended its run more than a week ago, and details about the franchise's next show have been trickling out slowly. A slew of character designs have been released, and a thorough synopsis was also rung out Toei Animation. And, now, new information about the duel system of VRAINS has been shared with some concept art.
Thanks to the YG Organization, fans know the upcoming anime will use a familiar sort of dueling. VRAINS will adopt the Speed Duel format which is used in the Duel Links game and the official trading card game. There's no word yet on whether the rules will be used in the game's VR arena or real-life tournaments. However, it does look like none of its tenants have been altered.
Characters will be able to draw from 20-card decks, and extra monster zones will be available for use. Players are also given 4000 life points.
Other information about the infrastructure of VRAINS was also shared. Concept art of settings such as Den City were shown in both real-life and VR. Reference art of the anime's lead Yusaku was also shown, depicting him in both his school attire and dueling persona, the Playmaker.
In the following slides, you can look at the new concept images.
