Konami sent out a new update for Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links this past week, adding a brand new mode for you to play called Rush Duel. The short version is that this is a far more streamlined version of the game, as you'll be given a set of cards specific to the format to play against another player who is in the same boat as you, doing quick plays in order to have fast rounds and a result in record time. It's designed for players of any skill level to join and can serve as a quick teaching method for new players. We have more info about the update below, as it is now live.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links – Rush Duel

Rush Duel is a dynamic, streamlined and exciting new way to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Using its own set of cards, it's a new, completely distinct card game that Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links players can enjoy alongside the existing format. As if that wasn't enough, Rush Duel launches today, playable within the brand-new Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens world featuring new characters and loads of special rewards to collect. Created by Yuga Ohdo, the hero of the animated series Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens, Rush Duel is all about breaking free of the rules. In Rush Duel you can Summon as many monsters as you want in your turn, filling up the field with cards at will. You refill your hand to at least five cards at the start of each turn, no matter how many cards you've lost. With so many monsters joining the fray one after another, the momentum can swing wildly in thoroughly exciting Duels. 

Rush Duel is simple for anyone to get into, no matter their experience. Don't worry about catching up Duelists who've played Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links for years – with today's update, everyone begins from the same starting point in Rush Duel. Whether you're an active Duelist or returning or new, a brand-new adventure awaits you. Both the existing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links format of "Speed Duel" and the brand-new Rush Duel are available in-game. If you want to unlock Rush Duel, you can do it straight away. Get ready to feel the Rush!
