Japanese anime aficionados who play poker will be delighted to hear that a new poker-themed multimedia project called High Card is set to launch in 2023.

At the beginning of March, a promotional video was released giving a teaser into what the show will look like and introducing the production staff.

The quality of animation is impressive and anticipation among fans is said to be high for the forthcoming launch.

AnimeNewsNetwork gave a brief rundown of what the storyline is about:

“The world order can be controlled by a set of 52 X-Playing cards with the power to bestow different superhuman powers and abilities to the ones that possess them. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the “buddy” that can be found within themselves. There is a secret group of players called High Card, who have been directly ordered by the king of Fourland to collect the cards that have been scattered throughout the kingdom, while moonlighting as employees of the luxury car maker Pinochle. Scouted to become the group's fifth member, Finn soon joins the players on a dangerous mission to find these cards”.

High Card will be out next year sometime next year in anime, manga and novel formats.
