After a rocky couple of years with the pandemic, Konami revealed today that the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game World Championship is back for 2023. Not a lot of details were released about the event, only that we know it will take place in Japan sometime in August 2023, and this will have more than just a singular competition. Aside from the obvious physical TCG taking center stage, the company will also be holding competitions for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links and Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. All of which will have their own tournament structures, competitions, and prizes. The company will also be taking this opportunity to celebrate the game's 25th anniversary, as they are planning out events and content for the year leading up to a massive celebration they have yet to reveal. You can read the official statement of the event below as we now await details.
