No word on if Ultra Street Fighter IV PS4’s Other Ocean Interactive is returning to develop this one.

I have to say that this is more than what I was expecting given the last two Yu-Gi-Oh! home console games. It kind of sounds like an alternate take on the same concept behind Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Tag Force Special with a bunch of alterations. Advertising day-1 DLC card packs does set off some alarm bells, though. Yu-Gi-Oh! Decade Duels and Millennium Duels were a chore to play to grind good cards if you weren’t interested in paying for DLC.
