A new trailer was spotted on Bandai Namco Latinamerica, which has since then been removed. You can see it via Gematsu‘s Streamable backup, with Spanish subtitles. We also have gameplay from Tokyo Games Show 2019, below.

Should the date be accurate, then it won’t be that long yet to wait to Alicization Lycoris with its May release. The trailer also showed off Medina briefly, a game original character. We should be seeing soon enough what she’ll be bringing to this story.
