News Summary:
Bushiroad plans to release the fourth combined set of *Shadowverse: Evolve*, integrating *Academy Royale* and *Dusk of Calamity* sets, on July 30, 2026, an initiative aimed at shortening the gap between Japanese and English releases toward a combined world finals event in 2027. On July 23, 2026, the company revealed details for the first set of the *Palworld Official Card Game*, titled "Dawn of Palpagos," which will include trial decks and booster packs available in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese for a worldwide launch on July 30, 2026. Also on July 23, 2026, Bushiroad announced the discontinuation of the *Weiss Schwarz Blau* card game after the *Revue Starlight* booster pack release on October 16, 2026, though a World Grand Prix with a *Fate/strange Fake* title cup remains scheduled for this year. The company previously delayed the launch of its new single-player and online card game, *Weiß Schwarz Online*, to spring 2027 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, pushing back from an original fall 2026 release. Earlier, on July 20, 2026, reports indicated that a WWE/Netflix deal influenced Bushiroad’s May decision to sell its shares in New Japan Pro-Wrestling to TV Asahi and CyberAgent; Bushiroad founder Takaaki Kidani had overseen New Japan Pro-Wrestling for over a decade after acquiring it in 2012.
