Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3 reached Europe and Australia but was never released in North America. Konami is now reviving it as Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force GX, and the company streamed a fresh gameplay trailer for it on Tuesday.
Four areas of the game get screen time in the trailer: dueling, the partner system, online multiplayer and town exploration. Players who only know Tag Force 3 as the PSP game that never came to their region now have their first real look at it.
What’s new this time
Konami describes the release as an updated take on the 2008 original. It adds modern visuals and voice acting, and both Dueling and Tag Dueling have been updated, with a card pool of over 3,800. Collectors will care most about that figure.
Physical editions on Switch 2 and Switch ship with three physical Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game cards: Yubel, Wicked Canon and Hope for the Future. Digital edition preorders get digital versions of the same three cards, plus a Winged Kuriboh Duel Mate for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.
The one North America skipped
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3 first released in Japan on PlayStation Portable in November 2008. Europe and Australia got it later. North America never did.
The first two games did reach North America, which makes the omission more obvious. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force came out on PSP in 2006, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 arrived in 2007.
Where the anime lives now
The Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime debuted in 2004. An English dub began airing on Cartoon Network in 2005, and 4Kids TV took it on in 2007, also dubbed in English.
Crunchyroll added season one, including the English dub, in August 2015. It later added season four in Japanese with English subtitles. The series also streams on Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Tubi.
TV Tokyo began airing a remaster, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX 20th Remaster, in April 2025 to mark the show’s 20th anniversary.
