Puyo Puyo Champions, known as Puyo Puyo eSports (ぷよぷよeスポーツ) in Japan and Asian territories, is a version of Puyo Puyo designed specifically for the competitive "eSports" scene. The game was first released digitally for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea in October 2018 with physical releases announced later in June 2019. An international release in May was later announced in April, including releases on the Xbox One and Steam.

Gameplay
Puyo Puyo Champions offers two gameplay styles from past Puyo Puyo titles. These include the Puyo Puyo 2 style, which uses the offsetting, margin time, double rotation, and All Clear from that game, and the Puyo Puyo Fever style, which gives every character their own dropset and allows players to enter Fever after offsetting 7 times.
For multiplayer options, up to four players can compete against each other at once, or up to eight players can compete in 1-on-1 elimination-style tournaments. Players can even compete with friends or other players across the globe online, in Free Play matches where wins and losses do not affect the player's records, or the Puyo Puyo League where the player can rise and fall in the league based on their wins and losses. Replays of matches are automatically saved (though this can be turned off in the settings) and can be uploaded online for others to watch.
In terms of single-player content, the player can compete against up to three CPU players at once in Battle, or battle against consecutive CPU opponents until they lose in Endurance. There is no single player story campaign in this game.
Characters
There are 24 characters to choose from, each with their own dropsets and AI skill levels, and all of them are available from the beginning.
Arle | |
---|---|
A girl from an alternate world full of Puyos. A bright and energetic young magician who loves adventure.
| |
Amitie | |
A student of Primp Magic School. Kind of a klutz, but she stays positive! Dreams of becoming a great magician.
| |
Ringo | |
A middle-schooler from Suzuran Shopping District. Smart, curious, and loves a good puzzle... but she's terrified of ghosts.
| |
Hed | |
The vocalist of a five-man demon rock band. The group's fearless frontman. Has serious skills to back up his huge ego.
| |
Sultana | |
A demon sealed in a magical amethyst headdress. She has trouble acting natural--everyone expects queenly dignity from her.
| |
Schezo | |
A dark mage who seeks power. Opposes Arle, wielding a sword of darkness. Infamous for poor choice of words.
| |
Sig | |
A spacey student of Primp Magic School. His left eye and hand have turned red, but he's cool with it. Loves bugs.
| |
Maguro | |
Ringo's childhood friend and eldest son of a fishmonger. Has many skills and interests, including kendama, games, and cooking.
| |
Ciel | |
The treasurer of the School of Light's student council. Precise, mathematical, and she's awfully strict about everything.
| |
Penglai | |
Half-dragon, half-human. His dance can mesmerize an audience, but it also lets him dodge attacks with grace.
| |
Rulue | |
A sexy martial arts queen. Can't use magic, but she holds her own on strength alone. Seeks the affection of the Dark Prince.
| |
Raffina | |
A student of Primp Magic School. Trains hard every day, seeking victory and beauty. Her confidence comes from diligence.
| |
Suketoudara | |
A large fish with arms and legs. Slick moves and cool grooves, 24-7. A little over the top, but you know you love it.
| |
Ally | |
A girl of a world apart from Pwurp Island or Primp Town. A self-proclaimed adventurer who believes in the power of love.
| |
Ragnus | |
An otherworldly hero who's been turned into a child. Upright, valiant, and reliable, but acts like a kid at crucial moments.
| |
Risukuma | |
A squirrel/bear/upperclassman known for bizarre experiments. His flask apparently contains love, science, and puyo?
| |
Draco Centauros | |
Half-human, half-dragon. Wants to be in a beauty pageant. Ends up in a lot of futile shenanigans, but she doesn't mind.
| |
Witch | |
A mage who rides a broomstick. Prideful and outspoken, she studies potion-brewing in hopes of becoming a fully fledged witch.
| |
Harpy | |
A winged girl. Loves to sing, but she's pretty terrible. Her song can silence any quarrel... one way or another.
| |
Serilly | |
A very shy and timid mermaid. She doesn't like being alone, though, so she's looking for someone to be her friend.
| |
Carbuncle | |
A strange creature found at Arle's side. If it gets too hungry, it'll try to eat everything it sees, so be careful.
| |
Satan / Dark Prince | |
Creator of the Puyo Underworld. He wields diabolical power, but mostly for trivial purposes--leaving chaos in his wake.
| |
Hartmann | |
A knight that maintains order in heaven. Keeps his distance from others and doesn't like talking about himself.
| |
Alex | |
A warrior wielding the holy sword Archrage. Nobody knows where she came from, but rumors say she's a foreign princess.
