Duel Academy is opening its doors again. Konami has released the first gameplay trailer for Yu-Gi-Oh! TAG FORCE GX, the remake of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX TAG FORCE 3 that brings the Tag Duel format back when it launches this February 2027.

The trailer shows a slice of daily life at Duel Academy, from classes to the card shop. Players build Decks from more than 3,800 cards, team up with characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, and work through the school year towards graduation.

Tag Duels are the headline feature, with online matches supporting up to four Duelists so pairs can plan their plays together.

Here is what the game brings back:

  • More than 3,800 cards: Build Decks from a collection covering the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime era.
  • Tag Duels: Pair up with GX characters and coordinate strategies across a shared board.
  • Duel Academy life: Visit the shop, join extracurriculars, and build friendships and rivalries through the year.

The game launches on February 16, 2027 for Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, with Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese support. Konami has not announced pricing or a Philippine release yet.
