The PV also reintroduces the 'mysterious light' feature, a compliance tool for streamers that can be adjusted in thickness and turned on or off. This follows PVs for Mizuki Tono and Aya Fujiwara, released on August 11 and 12 respectively. The game is a revival of the landmark arcade series, featuring new 3D models for the heroines.
