Originally released in 2004, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie–also known as Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light–takes place between seasons three and four of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series. During a card duel with his rival Kaiba, Yugi and his friends are sucked into a pyramid controlled by the Egyptian Lord of the Dead, Anubis, whose magic turns the creatures from the card game into living monsters.

The final cover art for the Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie steelbook Blu-ray edition has yet to be revealed, and it’s unclear if there will be any other special features or bonus content included in this release, but the August 20 release date isn’t far off, so those details are sure to be announced soon. In the meantime, you can preorder the movie at Amazon.
