Konami prepares to return to Spielwarenmesse
Konami returns to Spielwarenmesse with an exciting showcase dedicated to Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, one of the most iconic and enduring trading card game franchises in the world. Visitors to the Konami stand can expect to see an array of new releases, updates to beloved collections and engaging activities that capture the nostalgia and thrill of the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe.
Headlining Konami’s presentation is the highly anticipated Structure Deck: Blue-Eyes White Destiny, launching on 13th February. This 51- card deck reimagines the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon strategy, offering duelists new tools with which to dominate the battlefield. At the heart of this deck is the powerful Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, a Level 12 Synchro Monster with unparalleled abilities. It can negate effects, shield graveyards and even boost its Attack Points for devastating plays. Accompanying this is the debut of Neo Kaiser Sea Horse, a versatile Level 4 Tuner designed to streamline Synchro Summoning and revive classic Blue-Eyes monsters from the graveyard. This deck also features premium cards such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Infinite Impermanence, ensuring competitive cards for the modern era. This deck is thoughtfully crafted for newcomers and dedicated duelists alike.
Supreme Darkness introduces 101 brand-new cards
Set for release the week before the exhibition, Supreme Darkness introduces 101 brand-new cards alongside returning fan favourites. Key highlights include the return of Evil Hero monsters, updated with new Effect Monsters based on Elemental Hero Bubbleman and Elemental Hero Prisma. Duelists can explore the speed and versatility of Speedroid and Crystron monsters with new cards that streamline Synchro Summoning. A standout addition is a fresh theme featuring Warrior Trap Monsters, delivering a unique gameplay mechanic that fuses strategy with action. With 25 Quarter Century Secret Rares among its offerings, Supreme Darkness cements itself as an essential release to kick-start 2025.
“We’re going to exhibit a wide range of products at Spielwarenmesse 2025, making it difficult to pick only one,” explains Michael Krause, general manager, Konami Digital Entertainment, B.V., when asked which product he’s most looking forward to showcasing at this year’s event. “However, if I truly had to, it would be Quarter Century Stampede. This set provides one of the last opportunities to acquire highly sought-after Quarter Century Secret Rare versions exclusively created for Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game’s 25th anniversary.”
