Get the new information below.

• Re: Link follows a story set after the heroes of the smartphone game finish up with Phantagrande.

• There are no major changes regarding other settings.
• Many characters from the Crew in the smartphone game will appear. You’ll progress through the story while controlling these characters.
• They’re still planning how to link the PlayStation 4 game with the smartphone game.
• They can’t share any details yet, but the idea is for various things to happen in the PlayStation 4 game if you play the smartphone game, and vice-versa.
• The character shown in the latest trailer is a key figure of the story. She looks similar to Djeeta, but is actually a different person.
• The genre is an action RPG. PlayStation VR support is under consideration.
• Right now the game’s single-player parts are being made, but they’re also thinking about a multiplayer story.
• As for multiplayer, they’re planning to put in a mode in which a number of players advance the story together, and a mode where players take down huge monsters together.
