Quick game Rule update: You no longer have to summon Link monster first in order to use Synchro, Xyz and Fusion monsters. And you can summon them in Extra monster Zone too. Link and Pendulum still work like in previous rule set.
New type of duel: Rush duel. Use new type of card and entirely new rule set. (not above)

My first impression is: I dislike this artstyle even more than Zexel's. It looks like a typical kid show on TV now. However, due to the change in studio and director, maybe the plot and characters will be better.
