The Monster Koshien World Battle event is taking place next month, to find the best battler

Koei Tecmo have announced that on May 10, the Monster Koshien World Battle will open up for all players of Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, giving them a chance to prove themselves of being the best monster battler around.

Marking the first-ever worldwide tournament for the series, Monster Koshien World Battle will allow players to enter their favourite monsters from Monster Rancher 2 into an online tournament to discover who is the number one monster rancher on the planet! Between the 10th – 23rd May 2022, players will be able to upload their save data to the game servers using the built-in ‘Tournament’ mode to officially enter themselves into the competition.

Battles will take place behind the scenes via the game’s ‘Tournament’ mode and will be based on auto-battles, with those making it to the quarterfinals and beyond having their auto-battles presented online in a special video featuring commentary from the series’ Executive Producer, Kazumi Fujita.

Once the competition comes to a close, the champion will win a special plaque and gold medal, while the 7 runners-up will receive a medal based on their placement. Furthermore, the Top 4 players will win an in-game Gold Medal, the Top 16 will win an in-game Silver Medal, the Top 64 will win an in-game Bronze Medal, and everyone that participated will receive an in-game Participation Certificate.
