Weiß Schwarz Online arrives March 24, 2027 on Switch 2, Switch and Steam

Bushiroad has confirmed the release date for Weiß Schwarz Online: March 24, 2027 in Pacific Time (PDT), which is March 25, 2027 in Japan. The digital version of the Weiß Schwarz card game comes to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, with the Switch 2 version the new addition in this announcement over the earlier plan for Switch and Steam only.

Two editions, eight titles at launch

Weiß Schwarz Online will be sold in two versions, each with four titles from the start. The Weiß Edition features Aogiri High School, Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, The Quintessential Quintuplets and BanG Dream! MyGO!!!!!. The Schwarz Edition includes THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS, Sword Art Online, Touhou Project and BanG Dream! Ave Mujica. The pitch mirrors the physical game in digital form: collect cards from favourite series, build decks and battle opponents around the world.

Modes for newcomers and veterans

New players can learn at their own pace with tutorials and CPU battles before going online. The game also includes a story mode starring Hinata Amamiya, a transfer student at Tenkou Academy, where disputes are settled through Weiß Schwarz matches, plus free CPU fights, casual matches, ranked matches and private rooms joined with a Room ID. Wins earn WSP, points redeemable in the shop for card packs, decks and supplies.

Languages, DLC and physical editions in Japan

The launch supports Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean and Spanish. Bushiroad has already shared a DLC roadmap adding eight more titles by autumn 2027, with details to follow on Steam and social media. In Japan, the Switch 2 version gets three physical editions: the Weiß Edition and Schwarz Edition at 7,678 yen each, and the first-print-run-only Complete Edition at 17,380 yen, with 16 promotional cards including eight Parallel cards. All three ship as game-key cards. The game page is live on Steam for wishlisting.
