Konami has just announced that new releases for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Speed Duel are to be paused for “a rest” period.
According to a recent X (Twitter) post by Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG @YuGiOh_TCG Speed Duel: Battle City Finals will be the last release for a while.
ANNOUNCEMENT: With the release of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Speed Duel: Battle City Finals, the initial Speed Duel saga we started a few years ago will be concluding.
While we are including new content (like Noah, Duke, and Tristan), the Speed Duel releases are starting to re-tread a lot of familiar ground, so the product line will be pausing for a rest.
As always, Speed Duel cards are legal for TCG play and there will be continued OP support for Speed Duel so that Duelists can continue to play the format.
Here is the post as on X:
