Beyblade X: XONE Game's Trailer Introduces Story, Battles, Customization

FuRyu released a new trailer on Tuesday during the Nintendo Direct livestream for Beyblade X: XONE, the newest game in the Beyblade franchise. The company also released a video earlier this month for the game. The trailer introduces the game's story, rivals, battles, and customization system.

The game will launch for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam in Japan on November 14.

There will be a special Beyblade "Shinobi Knife 4-60LF Metal Coat: Blue" exclusive to physical copies of the Switch version.

The game includes a single-player mode with a new story and characters, as well as online multiplayer. Players can customize Beyblades and use them to fight. The game features stadiums with X Lines and the X Dash from the Beyblade X anime. There is also an "Active Gauge" that is original to the game.

Takara Tomy announced the Beyblade X project in March 2023. Takara Tomy describes the project as the "4th generation," after the original 1999 Beyblade (Bakuten Shoot Beyblade), 2008's Beyblade: Metal Fusion (Metal Fight Beyblade), and 2015's Beyblade Burst.

Homura Kawamoto (Kakegurui), Hikaru Muno (High Card), and Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland) launched the Beyblade X manga in Shogakukan's Monthly Coro Coro Comics magazine in June 2023. Kawamoto and his younger brother Muno are credited with the original story, and Demizu is drawing the manga.

Beyblade Burst QuadStrike, the seventh season of the Beyblade Burst anime series, premiered on Disney XD in April 2023 and on Hulu that May in the U.S. Episodes streamed on YouTube following the U.S. premieres. The anime also aired on the company's additional regional broadcast partners. The show had 26 22-minute episodes.
