Next week's Yu-Gi-Oh Digital Next stream has fans hopeful for a Master Duel game

We're in an era where just about every TCG you remember from your youth now has a digital equivalent, from Magic: The Gathering with Magic Arena to the Pokémon card game with Pokémon TCG Online. While Yu-Gi-Oh has had plenty of digital adaptations over the years, there hasn't been a full fat online version of that experience. But the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh Digital Next stream has fans hopeful that that's about to change.


The Yu-Gi-Oh Digital Next event will broadcast on July 20 on YouTube. An in-game message in Duel Links says that the event will "deliver the latest information on the digital games and Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Links to players all over the world!" So expect both news on new features for the current free-to-play game and info on other games.


Duel Links, developed by Konami, has been trucking along on Steam and mobile with a faster-paced take on the Yu-Gi-Oh rules. Late last year, Konami teased that a game based on Master Duel rules - meaning the standard matches of the original game - was in development.

Are You Ready for the KC Grand Tournament?

Are You Ready for the KC Grand Tournament?

The KC Grand Tournament 2021 is about to begin, and bonuses for Duel Links players are already being given out! Take a look at all of the awesome stuff you’ll receive in celebration of this big tournament just for logging in, and then use those freebies to prepare your Deck for the first stage of the tournament!

Awesome Log-In Bonuses!

In addition to Gems and special packs, Duelists will receive 3 UR Tickets and 3 SR Tickets for logging in. Those 6 Tickets include a Prismatic and Glossy Ticket in each rarity. You can use these Tickets to select a card of the Ticket’s rarity to add to your collection. For these six Tickets, the list of cards that you can obtain is limited to a relatively small selection – but also included in the KC Grand Tournament 2021 log-in bonuses is an UR Dream Ticket and a SR Dream Ticket! These “Dream Tickets” can be redeemed for just about any card you want. Each of them can be redeemed for a card of its rarity from one of the first 31 BOXes, from any Structure Deck, or from an event. The Dream Tickets are perfect for finishing up a nearly complete Deck to use in the KC Grand Tournament. Be sure to log into Duel Links on 8 separate days while the KC Grand Tournament Celebration Campaign is going on, because you can only get 1 Ticket per day.

Logging into Duel Links during the Celebration Campaign also gets you a Skill Ticket that will instantly unlock a Character Skill of your choosing. You’ll also receive a brand new skill – Shooting Star Road – alongside a Legend Rare Shooting Star Dragon. Yusei’s Shooting Star Road Skill makes it a breeze to Summon his Shooting Star Dragon ace monster, and synergizes well with his Junk Synchron by letting you start the Duel with the Level 2 Junk Converter in the Graveyard. The KC Grand Tournament Celebration Campaign only runs until September 14th, so log in soon to make sure you get everything!

Structure Deck EX: Stardust Nexus is Now Available!

A new Structure Deck EX was added to the Shop in celebration of the KC Grand Tournament, and this Structure Deck EX is perfect to use with the new Shooting star Road Skill! Structure Deck EX: Stardust Nexus contains powerful Stardust, Junk, and Synchron cards, including Junk Synchron, Junk Converter, Stardust Dragon, Formula Synchron, Junk Warrior, and Junk Archer. With this new Structure Deck and the Shooting Star Road skill, you can easily build a powerful Deck around Shooting Star Dragon that is fit for the competition of the KC Grand Tournament! If you’re looking for cards to build a different Deck, the several sales available in the Shop throughout the KC Grand Tournament Celebration Campaign can help you build them.

The Ultimate Tournament!

Only the best Duelists will rise to the top in the KC Grand Tournament 2021! This multi-stage tournament begins with the 1st Stage of the Preliminary Tournament on May 31st. During this stage, Duelists will compete against one another to increase their ranks and achieve the rank of DLv. MAX. Starting June 11th, Duelists who achieved the maximum rank are able to Duel against one another in PvP Duels to gain DP. Only the top 128 Duelists with the most DP will earn invitations to the next stage of the event: The Main Tournament! The 1st Stage of the Main Tournament will be held on Saturday, July 17th, and the KC Grand Tournament 2021 Main Tournament Championship will be held on August 28th, 2021. The ultimate Duelists in this ultimate tournament will receive the ultimate prize. This prize is the ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense – an “Extra Secret Rare” Dark Magician card. Only the top 3 Duelists of the KC Grand Tournament 2021 will earn this special card.

Competition in the KC Grand Tournament 2021 is sure to be fierce, but there’s something for everyone in the Celebration Campaign! Log into Duel Links now to start enjoying the event and claim your freebies!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links ZEXAL World Release Celebration Campaign!

The long-anticipated ZEXAL world is finally here! A powerful new form of Summoning called “Xyz Summoning” has arrived in Duel Links, and we’re celebrating with a bunch of free in-game cards and items! Check out the rewards you’ll receive for logging in during the ZEXAL world Release Celebration Campaign!

Lead Your Forces Into Battle With Zubaba General!
Acquire your first Xyz Monster in Duel Links right away by logging in to get a Prismatic Zubaba General! Xyz Monsters are black-framed monsters that you can Special Summon from your Extra Deck by using monsters on your field as materials. The monsters used to Summon an Xyz Monster become Xyz Materials that attach to the Summoned Xyz Monster. Unlike other monsters, Xyz Monsters have “Ranks” instead of “Levels”. Different Xyz Monsters require different materials to Summon them, but an Xyz Monster’s Rank usually matches the Level of the monsters used to Xyz Summon it.

Take a look at Zubaba General, for example. You can Summon this Rank 4 monster from your Extra Deck by combining any 2 Level 4 monsters. Those 2 monsters become Xyz Materials attached to Zubaba General, and you can use those Xyz Materials to fuel its effect. By sending an Xyz Material attached to Zubaba General to the Graveyard, you can equip your Zubaba General with a Warrior-Type monster from your hand. Zubaba General starts with 2000 ATK, but gains ATK equal to the total ATK of all monsters equipped to it. That means its effect will easily let you raise its ATK to 4000 and above so that you can wipe out your opponent with a single attack!

Go Gaga Over Gagagaga Magician!
Monsters that can change their Levels are the most flexible in helping to perform an Xyz Summon. That’s what makes Gagaga Magician an impressive card in the ZEXAL era. Gagaga Magician is a Level 4 monster to start, but its effect lets you change its Level to any Level between 1 and 8 inclusive. That makes it useful for Xyz Summoning monsters from Ranks 1 through 8. You’ll receive a Prismatic UR Gagaga Magician just for logging in during the ZEXAL world Release Celebration Campaign!

New Game Mat and Sleeves!
Duelists logging in during the ZEXAL world Release Celebration Campaign will also receive an exclusive new Game Mat featuring Yuma Tsukumo, Astral, and Yami Yugi. Yuma Tsukumo and Astral are the main protagonists of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL series, so using this new Game Mat is the perfect way to show off your enthusiasm for the release of ZEXAL world. Matching Card Sleeves featuring those same characters are also available as a reward for logging in.

FREE Gems and Dream Tickets!
As part of the ZEXAL world Release Celebration Campaign, Duelists that log in will receive 1000 free Gems as well as an UR and SR Dream Ticket. You can use these Gems to get booster packs from the shop, including packs of the 30th Main BOX that includes the iconic Number 39: Utopia Xyz Monster. You can also use them to get the new Structure Deck that features Gagaga Cowboy. The two Dream Tickets can be used to get nearly any Ultra Rare card and Super Rare card previously released in Duel Links, so they’re perfect for helping you finish up a Deck you’ve been working on. In addition, logging in during the ZEXAL world Celebration Campaign will also get you a Prismatic UR Ticket, a regular UR Ticket, a Prismatic SR Ticket, and a regular SR Ticket, which you can use to claim UR and SR cards from a more limited selection.

New Skill Ticket!
Finally, as part of the ZEXAL world Release Celebration Campaign, Duelists that log in will receive a “Skill Ticket” that can be used to give any character a previously available Skill. This is the perfect item to help you get the Skill you want on a specific character without going through the effort of unlocking that Skill.

In addition to all of these log-in freebies, ZEXAL world introduces new characters, new cards, and a whole new place to explore. Check it out and start Xyz Summoning powerful monsters right away!
