The PlayStation 4 and Switch versions of Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad will launch on July 17 in Japan, Konami announced.
While the Switch version will support data sharing with the previously released iOS and Android versions, the PlayStation 4 version will not.
Both the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions will be able to link with the upcoming Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025, which is due out on July 18 in Japan. One “Eikan Team,” one “Arrange Team,” and up to 70 “Players” in Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad can be linked to Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025 on the same platform, and linked teams and players can be used across various modes.
Here is an overview of the game, via its official website:
About
Eikan Nine is a mode in which you become a high school baseball coach, train your team, and lead them to the Koshien Japan National High School Baseball Tournament.
Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad retains the traditional Eikan Nine setup, but adds new elements for even deeper team building, including “Scholarship Students,” “Growth Board,” and “Rival Schools.”
Key Features
- Eikan Nine – Lead the team to victory as a coach, including daily practice and game strategy, with the goal of reaching the Koshien Japan National High School Baseball Tournament.
- Scout Scholarship Students – With the new scholarship student scouting system, you can scout familiar characters from the Powerful Pro series as players and managers. Scout characters can join the coach’s baseball team (in Eikan Nine) as “scholarship students.”
- Stadium Koshien League – Play in the Koshien League with an “Eikan Team” saved after the Eikan Nine mode summer tournament. Join the Higher Leagues and earn rewards.
- Stadium Eikan Tower – Play Eikan Tower with an “Arranged Team” made up of players who go pro in Eikan Nine mode. Clear each floor of the tower’s theme to obtain materials and items usable in Eikan Mode.
