Get ready, basketball fans! The highly anticipated successor to Blue Lock Rivals, Basketball Rivals, based on the popular Kuroko's Basketball anime and manga, is finally arriving. Developed by Chrollo, this exciting new game boasts a fresh trailer, confirmed release date, and a unique pre-release public playtest system. Here's everything you need to know about the Basketball Rivals release date.
Basketball Rivals officially launches on March 14, 2025, at 5 PM EST. The recently released trailer (see below) showcases exciting gameplay, highlighting signature moves like Aomine Daiki's incredible dribbling and scoring, and Shintaro Midorima's legendary long-range shots. While testers are already familiar with these styles, the trailer offers newcomers a thrilling preview of the abilities they can unlock. Be sure to visit the official event page for the latest updates and any potential schedule changes.
Keep an eye on the official Basketball Rivals game page and Discord server for details on the pre-release public playtest. Chrollo has implemented a unique system: the game will open for 30-minute public playtest sessions each time the official release event page reaches 20,000 interested players (20k, 40k, 60k, and so on). Don't miss your chance to jump in before launch! However, please note that any Robux purchases made during the playtest will not carry over to the official release.
Currently, an official Basketball Rivals Trello board is not yet available. However, Chrollo has confirmed that a Trello board will be launched alongside the game's official release. This board will detail character customization options and the style system, similar to Blue Lock Rivals, featuring each main character from Kuroko's Basketball.
