As of writing, the animation is only meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the card game and unveil the future of KONAMI Animation.
The reveal was part of The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY 25th anniversary commemoration for the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game held at Tokyo Dome.
The newly announced KONAMI Animation has had a new official website launched, with one of its values being that “creators are always looking out into the horizon for a creative and efficient process made possible by combining the history that the animation industry has paved, with the evolution sought after in the video game industry.”
Furthermore, the website also unveiled the talents involved in the animation short, including Takashi Kaiga as chief director, as well as Isamu Abe, Daisuke Tsuboi, Yasuhiro Aoki (Vspo! Mr.Music production chief), Mitsutaka Echigo (Vspo! Bunka Taiikusai Animation PV), and Atsushi Tsubokawa (Detective Conan: Pitch Black Nightmare co-production assistant) as producers.
