Hololive TCG's English release confirmed for 2025

The Hololive TCG will officially receive a localized English version this year, with Bushiroad confirming that they will team up with COVER Corporation to bring the trading card game to a global audience.

This collaboration mirrors the partnership established for the Japanese version of the TCG, with the English version slated for release sometime in 2025.

The “hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME” is an original trading card game conceived and developed internally by COVER Corporation.

Some of the current Japanese Hololive TCG Starter Decks are based on Nakiri Ayame, Nekomata Okayu and Yuzuki Choco

Its Japanese language iteration, which was launched in September 2024, centers around the concept of “Kyousou,” a term that encapsulates both co-creation and competition.

The Japanese version has garnered significant positive feedback from a substantial fan base. In response to the overwhelming interest from international fans, COVER Corporation is currently engaged in the production of an English language version.

This concept is designed to effectively leverage the distinct personalities and individual charms of the talents associated with Hololive Production.

The English version of the “hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME” will maintain the core elements that contributed to the success of the Japanese version, including card design and game rules.

However, it will undergo a process of localization to ensure its accessibility and appeal to English-speaking Hololive enthusiasts.

A number of booster packs, including “Quintet Spectrum” and “Blooming Radiance” could be localized

Plans are in place to introduce exclusive cards and organize special events, with the overarching goal of fostering a more vibrant and engaged global fan community.

Bushiroad Inc. will serve as the primary sales and operational partner for the English language edition.

Its responsibilities will encompass the distribution of the product to trading card game specialty stores and mass retailers located throughout North America and other regions on a global scale.

Bushiroad will also play a pivotal role in the organization and execution of official and authorized tournaments and events.

Detailed information regarding the release schedule, sales channels and event details will be confirmed in the near future.

Items such as card cases will be made available at retailers outside Japan as part of the localization

COVER Corporation is committed to its mission of delivering novel entertainment experiences to its global fan base through Hololive Production.

The company anticipates that the release of the English language version of “hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME” will serve as a significant catalyst in expanding the reach of Hololive’s appeal to an even wider audience.
