Level-5 released a new trailer for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road‘s “Ares & Fabled Seed DLC” update ahead of its release on January 28, 2026. The free major update adds the Ares Route to the game’s Chronicle Mode, based on the Inazuma Eleven: Ares animated series, which features a separate continuity to the main series. The update also grants players a special item, the Fabled Seed, which allows them to upgrade one character of their choice to Fabled rarity.

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game’s main story acts as a reboot for the series and follows Dustin Billows, a boy who attempts to revive South Cirrus High School’s football club. Other modes include a Chronicle Mode that lets players form a team from players that have appeared across the entire series as they take the Inazuma V Caravan across time and battle teams from the series’ past.
