- Release date is not confirmed, but hoped to be during the 10th anniversary of the franchise
- An entirely new character will be added, so that “older players can also enjoy the game”
- 2B’s Yui Ishikawa and 9S’ Hanae Natsuki will have small roles in the updated game

Gematsu also has the current list of other Japanese VAs who will be in the game:
