The much-anticipated sequel to *Blue Lock Rivals*, *Basketball Rivals*, inspired by the beloved *Kuroko's Basket* series, is set to make a splash. Developed by Chrollo, this game promises to be their next big hit, with a trailer, confirmed release date, and exciting public playtests. Here's everything you need to know about the *Basketball Rivals* release date.
Basketball Rivals Release Date Trailer

The announcement came with a highly anticipated trailer, which you can watch below. Don't miss out on the **official event page** for the latest updates and any last-minute changes to the schedule.
Basketball Rivals Release Trailer
The release trailer is nothing short of exhilarating. It highlights some of the game's signature styles, such as **Aomine Daiki's** impressive dribbling and scoring, and **Shintaro Midorima's** remarkable full-court shots. While testers are already familiar with these mechanics, the trailer serves as a perfect introduction for newcomers to see the diverse abilities they can unlock.
Basketball Rivals Public Playtest – Prerelease
Keep an eye on the *Basketball Rivals* **game page** and **Discord server** for announcements about the prerelease public playtest. Chrollo has planned to open the game to the public for 30-minute intervals whenever the Release Event page hits 20,000 interested people. This means the game will be accessible at 20k, 40k, 60k interested members, and so on. It's a golden opportunity to experience the game before its official launch, though I advise against spending Robux, as purchases won't carry over to the final version.
Official Basketball Rivals Trello

This board will detail all the customization options and styles available, similar to the format used in *Blue Lock Rivals*, with each main character from *Kuroko's Basket* having their unique style.
