Hololive announces a new Hololive TCG
Cover, the company behind the VTuber idols of Hololive has announced an official trading card game (TCG/CCG).
Hololive is no stranger to cards, previously releasing trading cards that are just for collecting (like baseball cards). However later this year an official Hololive card game will release, letting players build decks featuring their oshi.
The theme of the game is “co-creation/competition”, we speculate the game could be more about achieving victory points rather than destroying the life totals of enemy players. This would keep in line with the friendly cooperation of the hololive idols.
The card game will be made in collaboration with Bushiroad, a toy company known for their work on other card games, video games, and other multi-media products. At the time of writing, there hasn’t been an official English announcement page, but you can check out a translation of the announcement below.
