Anime News Network reports that the story from the film will feature an all new battle between Yugi Yami and Kaiba. The plot of the film is described as follows:
"In the past Yūgi Yami and Kaiba have clashed many times!! Yami Yūgi, who resides in Yūgi Mutō's body, and Kaiba will have a duel that bets their prides and accepts each other's mutual experience

The 2016 "Yu-Gi-Oh" movie was announced last June by 4K Media. The film was announced in celebration of the 20th anniversary since the original release of the manga series by Kazuki Takahashi.
For those who are not familiar with the series, Hulu describes "Yu-Gi-Oh!" as follows:
