Closed Beta Test Announcement for Pro Baseball Fan Stars League

Bandai's card game division has revealed that it will conduct a closed beta test for its upcoming game, "Pro Baseball Fan Stars League." This exciting game is designed as a real-time support card game that connects the physical and digital worlds. From October 9 to October 15, 2025, applications will be accepted for the chance to participate in this closed beta, which is limited to 10,000 players across Japan.

What is Pro Baseball Fan Stars League?

"Fan Stars League" aims to offer an unparalleled experience by blending real-life interactions with a mobile app. Players collect trading cards from booster packs and can scan the QR codes on the back to utilize the same cards within the app. This creates a unique blend of physical card collection and digital gameplay.

The app will feature real-time support modes linked to professional baseball game updates. Players can get instant updates on games displayed in a retro Famista-style visual format. Furthermore, every match will be streamed for free with AI voice commentary, enabling fans to follow the action closely while earning points based on their supported teams' performances. Players can access a vast database of player statistics and information, fueling their enthusiasm for the sport.

In essence, the core gameplay revolves around supporting your favorite team and competing for high scores based on your cards' abilities in the game mode called "Fan Stars League." Gamers choose matches to support, create decks using the cards they possess, and experience real-time score competition during the games.

Features of the Trading Cards

Each trading card comes equipped with a QR code, allowing players to use the same cards in both physical and digital formats. The cards have four tiers of rarity, beautifully designed, and feature real players’ skill data. As players collect more cards, their skill levels will rise, enabling them to achieve higher scores. Additionally, rare items such as serial-numbered cards and parallel cards will also be introduced, enhancing the collection aspect while maintaining a competitive edge.

As Bandai gears up for the official launch, this closed beta test aims to improve game quality through balance adjustments and server load testing. The feedback from users will be invaluable in refining the game's experience and ensuring the best possible launch.
