The title is set for release in 2027. The demo build lets players use protagonist Acura's new armament, the Divide Edge, along with multiple new EX Weapons, and it gives a 10-minute time limit with the stage cleared by defeating the boss Servola. The game's signature move is the Blitz Dash, which bounces off surfaces like a pinball and locks onto enemies. A score attack ran at the booth, where reaching S rank earned a random Battle Pot RoRo acrylic keyholder from a set of three. Finishing the demo at any rank earned one of four can badge designs, including the heroine Kohaku. As of the afternoon of the first business day, only one person had reached S rank.","whyItMatters":"Inti Creates is staffing its booth with a score attack ladder and rank-gated prizes, which turns a routine demo into a measurable difficulty check on a series spin-off that has not yet shipped.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eInti Creates staff told the writer that higher scores were possible by using EX Weapons and SP Skills, and that clearing the stage without landing would have pushed the score higher still.
