For example, playing the Steam version would give you increased chances of recruiting players from Team Ogre, Eternal Light, and Ancient Darkness. On the other hand, if you owned the game across two or more platforms and used the cross-save feature, this would make you eligible for multiple bonuses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1432\" height=\"804\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1432px) 100vw, 1432px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250414-47005-header.jpg\" alt=\"Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road\" class=\"wp-image-47010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250414-47005-header.jpg 1432w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250414-47005-header-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250414-47005-header-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this system did not make said characters exclusive to specific platforms \u2013\u00a0only increasing their chances of appearing \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/inazuma-eleven-victory-road-earns-criticism-for-platform-specific-character-drop-rates-in-japan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">players were still quite unhappy with it<\/a>, citing an unbalanced distribution of teams across platforms and a general dissatisfaction with being nudged to buy multiple versions of the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, Level-5 was quick to respond to the feedback and do away with the platform-specific system. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road&#8217;s revised system will offer boosted acquisition rates for all teams across all platforms, but in bi-weekly rotations. Basically, each block of teams will be boosted on a platform for two weeks before being swapped out with another group. As an exception, the first rotation following the game\u2019s launch will last for three weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1518\" height=\"850\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1518px) 100vw, 1518px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250418-47194-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250418-47194-header.jpg 1518w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250418-47194-header-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/20250418-47194-header-768x430.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, on Steam, Group D (Team Ogre, Eternal Light, and Ancient Darkness) will be boosted for the first three weeks, after which players will have increased chances of acquiring Group A players (Prominence, Diamond Dust, Zanark\u2019s Domain) for two weeks, and so forth. The new system will still give players who purchase more than one version of the game an advantage, as cross-saving will give you bonuses for multiple groups at once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inazuma.jp\/victory-road\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road<\/a> is set to release on August 21 for the PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox Series X|S.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino announces a revision of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road\u2019s platform-exclusive bonus system in response to criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":47200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-47194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
