“In card games, it is often difficult for audiences to understand what is going on,” Kataoka said.
Master Duel will be playable at launch across all current generation consoles, PC and mobile devices, including Xbox One and Playstation 4, and Konami is really pushing the 4K resolution and graphical fidelity of the game. Master Duel advertises “online Yu-Gi-Oh! for both players and audiences”, according to Konami senior producer Kenichi Kataoka, and will use the current Master Rules of the official card game as its backbone. The announcement was part of a digital livestream held by publisher Konami, wherein they provided details on Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, along with Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel and Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel. Two upcoming video games will be dedicated to specific game modes, while Master Duel seems to be positioning itself as the main way for players to access a no-frills client with tournament support.
A recent livestream announced three new digital titles for the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game.
