A development update video for Black Clover Mobile has announced that the game, originally meant to launch in this year, will be delayed to make improvements to its quality. The game will now be released in the first half of 2023 instead.
The video, which includes some snippets of footage, also revealed plans for global closed beta tests in select regions and the promise of more updates soon. The game is mentioned as being in “the final stretch” of development.
Meanwhile, the video description revealed that Black Clover Mobile will have the full title of Black Clover Mobile: Rise of the Wizard King.
Black Clover Mobile: Rise of the Wizard King is inspired by the Black Clover anime series that began in 2017, which is in turn based on the manga by Yuuki Tabata. Vic Game Studios is developing the title with Pearl Abyss as publisher.
The game’s website describes the premise as:
It seemed as if humanity was on the brink of destruction by a demon. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward. After his triumph, he was named the Wizard King, and his story became legend. Magic is everything in this world. Asta, born without magic, made a promise to his friend that he would someday become the Wizard King!
The website includes a link to an unlisted 1-and-a-half minute “Main Page” trailer that was uploaded a few days ago, which includes a look at some of the traversable environments and character attack moves.
