Due to the enormous roster that would &#8220;take an absurd amount of time to complete,\u201d Hino says that his team has made it possible for these characters to be carried over into a potential sequel, in case one gets made (as spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202510\/55755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u767a\u58f2\u76f4\u524d\uff01\u30a4\u30ca\u30ba\u30de\u30a4\u30ec\u30d6\u30f3\u7279\u5225\u516c\u5f0f\u914d\u4fe1\u756a\u7d44\u300c\u30a4\u30ca\u30c0\u30a4\u300d\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DCbzPJUh02o?start=948&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Hino is <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/inazuma-eleven-victory-road-devs-confident-in-games-worldwide-hit-potential\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confident in Victory Road being a successful comeback<\/a> of the Inazuma Eleven series and becoming a worldwide hit, he didn\u2019t explicitly say that a sequel was in the works. However, he did detail Victory Road\u2019s new Player Bank feature. With it, players can store their recruited players along with their current gear and stats, as well as switch them into their active team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1351\" height=\"759\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1351px) 100vw, 1351px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251022-553207-h001.jpg\" alt=\"Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Player Bank UI\" class=\"wp-image-53210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251022-553207-h001.jpg 1351w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251022-553207-h001-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20251022-553207-h001-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as the game features over 5,400 recruitable members, Hino says the Player Bank\u2019s storage might not be enough. Should a Player Bank get too full, certain members must be deleted to make room. The Player Bank system is what will be used to carry over data to any possible sequels in the series, so if you\u2019ve only managed to collect 700 players by the time a new game comes out, Hino says not to worry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is set to release on November 13 for the Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PlayStation 4 and 5, PC (Windows), and Xbox Series X|S.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related articles: <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/level-5-quickly-revises-inazuma-eleven-victory-roads-platform-exclusive-bonuses-in-response-to-player-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Level-5 quickly revises Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road\u2019s platform-exclusive bonuses in response to player feedback<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/game-development\/level-5-ceo-explains-why-delays-happen-so-much-and-why-just-announcing-things-later-isnt-always-a-solution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Level-5 CEO explains why delays happen so much and why \u201cjust announcing things later\u201d isn\u2019t always a solution<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road&#8217;s Player Bank system was designed to allow characters to be carried over into any potential sequels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":53209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-53207","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 v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road&#039;s 5,400 characters will carry over to series\u2019 &quot;potential next title,&quot;
