Players face off against 22 of the world's toughest football rivals, including Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, Mexico and more, along with more than five club teams, five high school teams, and a special team called Real Japan, which appeared in the original Captain Tsubasa manga.

Gameplay in CAPTAIN TSUBASA 2: WORLD FIGHTERS brings back the series' over-the-top Super Action football mechanics with enhanced visuals and new supercharged moves, adding more than 150 new moves and cutscenes highlighting special skills.

The game includes a new system that pits goalkeeper against shooter, where players attack and counter signature shots and saves from characters from the anime series in jaw-dropping sequences.

Passing, dribbling, tackling and unleashing strikes on goal combine proven football tactics with powerful techniques inspired by each character and their special abilities.

As a nod to fans of the game series, composer Tadayoshi Makino returns with more than 80 new tracks for the sequel.
