With the COVID-19 pandemic still delaying production in all sectors, things are looking grim for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh collectible trading card game. With the release dates of the latest packs delayed by at least a month and possibly delayed even further now, it may be time to find a good non-Yu-Gi-Oh CCG to pass the time while everyone’s favorite Duel Monsters get back on their feet.
Amidst the delays of the cards themselves, there is even more bad news for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh television series. Following the early cancellation of Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS, fans were anticipating the latest incarnation of the show, Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens with apprehension and curiosity, but it seems they will have to wait a bit longer now.
Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens has gone on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with several other anime. The series will begin re-broadcasting from its first episode on May 9, presumably with new episodes to follow, but with how serious things have gotten, there is no telling how long the delay may wind up stretching. This completes a trifecta of canceled Yu-Gi-Oh passtimes, with live Yu-Gi-Oh events already being canceled earlier this year. Hopefully games like Duel Links remain functional for players stuck inside for the foreseeable future.
What makes this so frustrating is that Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens had just gotten started and is already putting on the breaks. There are currently only four episodes out, and that’s all there will be for a while. Now is the time for players to learn the best Duel Links strategies, since it seems there will be an extended period before the new Rush Duels sweep the game.
