It’s been a long, long road to Inazuma Eleven’s long-awaited PlayStation debut, but you’ll finally be able to put the soccer RPG through its paces from tomorrow. While the full release of Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is still a little way away, the Worldwide Beta Test Demo will kick-off from 4AM PDT/7AM EDT on 18th July.
If you’re not sure what time that is in your country, we’ve included a handy time zone guide below:
- North America: 4am PDT / 5am MDT / 6am CDT / 7am EDT
- UK/Ire: 12pm BST
- Europe: 1pm CEST / 2pm EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 8pm JST / 7pm AWST / 9pm AEST
The demo previously deployed exclusively on Nintendo Switch, and ran from 28th March through 28th June. It includes Chapter 1 of the game, as well as single player exhibition matches – but the bulk of the content is built around the competitive online mode, which is obviously the purpose of the beta test. It should be noted, no progress will carry across to the full release.
Developed by legendary Japanese studio LEVEL-5, all of the previous Inazuma Eleven games were exclusive to Nintendo consoles, so this marks the first time the series will have appeared on a PlayStation platform. The game was first announced all the way back in 2016, with a 2018 release date targeted. However, it’s gone through numerous revisions since then.
