TSUBASA+ Features Captain Tsubasa in Real-world Football Gameplay
Captain Tsubasa to debut worldwide in the TSUBASA+ real-world gameplay on mobile phones from autumn 2020 (TSUBASA Plus https://tsubasa.plus).

Music composed and produced by Taku Takahashi (m-flo)

Overview of TSUBASA+

TSUBASA+ is a real-world game in which TSUBASA+ Players create a real-world view of Yoichi Takahashi’s internationally popular manga “Captain Tsubasa,” which is loved by three generations of fans of every nationality.

Directed by Yoshiki Okamoto, who has created many Blockbuster game titles, TSUBASA+ explores the unique features of the Google Maps Platform allowing TSUBASA+ Players to track their characters with GPS on their mobile phones and interact with the characters of Yoichi Takahashi’s Captain Tsubasa and characters with images and names of football players used under license from FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises B.V., and Meiji Yasuda J.League.

When a TSUBASA+ Player’s character checks in at one of the TSUBASA+ football stadiums scattered throughout the city, images of football players under license from FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises B.V. appear together with Captain Tsubasa football characters. TSUBASA+ Players can then play one-to-one challenges with these character-players by stacking and releasing up to five, coloured energy-balls, and when they win, the character-players and TSUBASA+ Players become TSUBASA+ Teammates.

Each TSUBASA+ Player selects and teams up with two character-players from his TSUBASA+ Teammates to form a three-a-side, then TSUBASA+ Players challenge each other. TSUBASA+ Players feel the rush of adrenaline during team selection as they form their dream-team with Tsubasa Ozora and Kojiro Hyuga from Captain Tsubasa, or a powerful line-up with football players under license from FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises B.V.

TSUBASA+ Players can strengthen their characters’ skills in challenge matches and in training sessions at TSUBASA+ Stadiums. In addition to tuning their skills in challenge matches, TSUBASA+ Players can build up their overall strength by using items that they can acquire when they have more than one of the same character-player in their squad of TSUBASA+ Teammates.

Each TSUBASA+ Player registers one of the scattered TSUBASA+ Stadiums as their home stadium, and the level of their home stadium is increased by working with other TSUBASA+ Players who register the same home stadium. Increasing the status of the home stadium will increase the chances of attracting celebrity character-players to the home stadium, and for the items gifted regularly at the home stadium to become more deluxe.

In addition, in consideration of the restraints for social-distance in countries around the world, substantial at-home functions have been built-in. While at home, TSUBASA+ Players can teleport freely across the map for a limited period, warp to meet other TSUBASA+ Players with follower-status, and compete in a time-limited challenge match at a TSUBASA+ Stadium where the TSUBASA+ Players have checked-in just after the warp-move or immediately before their challenge match.

In-game music directed by Taku Takahashi (m-flo)

The music for “TSUBASA+” was composed and produced by Taku Takahashi, from background music to sound effects (SE). Please enjoy the music that livens up the play at each scene, the sound that adds excitement to walking around the city on the MAP screen, the background music and the SE that increases tension of each challenge match.

Taku Takahashi (m-flo) comments

I am honoured to have participated in the production of this game created from such a world-famous publication. I composed music with the aim of connecting more and more people who love soccer, supporters, and football lovers through this game. I am really looking forward to playing with everyone.
