Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2026 launches in Korea July 16 with full Korean localization, a series first
Konami's new baseball sim releases in Korea July 16. It is the first in the series with full Korean support and brings back a WBC mode.
On the content side, the return of an international tournament mode stands out. The inclusion of a 2026 World Baseball Classic mode marks the first international tournament in the series since Pro Yakyuu Spirits 6, seventeen years ago. Player data for all 20 participating nations is included, and both Tokyo Dome and loanDepot Park in Miami, the actual final venue, are recreated, supporting a scenario mode covering 47 games including the final.
The game runs on the next-generation eBaseball engine, with rookie and foreign player signings, transfers, and trades reflected as of the start of the 2026 Nippon Professional Baseball season.
