They can create and fully customize their Brawler to fight side-by-side with the mysterious alien Bakugan as their human partner in battle. The game features a fully navigable 3D world divided into different districts each with dedicated battle arenas. Players can interact with other characters, go on quests, and explore with their Bakugan friends. They can also test their brawling skills online in head-to-head multiplayer against friends or players from around the world to become a true Champion of Vestroia.

Fans should take note that a physical Deluxe Edition pack, featuring the video game, an exclusive Ultima Dragonoid toy which transforms into a fierce Bakugan, Ultima Dragonoid trading card, Ultima Dragonoid metal gate card, plus two powerful BakuCores will also be available at launch.

You can gain more information by visiting the game’s official website. You can also follow the franchise on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

I have been looking at fan reaction on social media, and, understandably, the Bakugan fandom (with whom we’re quite familiar with) has gone crazy over this announcement. It will be interesting to see how the fandom will receive the upcoming game come November 3, 2020.
