At Chara Expo 2019, Bushiroad announced that their mobile card game Cardfight!! Vanguard ZERO, developed by Game Studio, would see its English version launch in Spring 2020. In March of 2018 Bushiroad first announced the release date of the game to be Winter of 2018 for the Japanese version. However, in November of 2018 the launch was delayed to be sometime in 2019. Fast forward one year, and the Japanese version was finally released on December 5th. This makes the Spring 2020 launch goal seem a lot more certain.
The card game “Vanguard” that is staged in a different world called “Planet Cray”, is experiencing a phenomenal boom throughout the world.
The main protagonist of this story, Aichi Sendou is a timid and nervous third-year junior high school student. And what supported Aichi through those pessimistic and inconspicuous days was the Vanguard card that he received as a child, “Blaster Blade”.
Since he reunited with the person who gave him “Blaster Blade”, Toshiki Kai, Aichi began to grow as a “Vanguard Fighter”, making new friends such as Misaki Tokura and Kamui Katsuragi, and encountering many rivals along the way.
Aichi keeps moving forward each day with his sights set on having another cardfight with Kai, the one who guided him to Vanguard---!
The story is based on the Cardfight!! Vanguard media franchise, which includes several anime, a manga series, and a trading card game.
Cardfight!! Vanguard ZERO is, not surprisingly, a mobile card game. The rules are a little different from the Cardfight!! Vanguard Standard Rules. Some of the major differences are:
A focus on faster play
Cards with new abilities
Different card requirements for deck composition
Card Trigger Effects
Hand size limits
And more
