There's reports that Granzella is working to get DR4 + ready for a Japanese release by 2018.

And this is the first time that the Kobe Fire Department will work with them. One of its officers has played the series back when he was still a student.

Their official site should be updated.

Update on what the player can see in a survivor camp and what can happen to them if they take action like sleeping in their cars.

Being exclusive to any one platform does seem a counterintuitive choice, seeing as doing so leaves potential customers outside the proverbial store. That said, if the game does well, and there is enough interest, it would be unwise to not consider expanding to other platforms (Sega got wise in this regard with Valkyria Chronicles and VC4). So, who should Granzella's advertising court in the interest of helping the game do well? Gamers who enjoy titles like Terraria and Minecraft could be a good starting point, and some who like The Division (and are interested in its upcoming sequel) might be receptive to a different sort of urban survival experience. This said, I can already imagine some of the more amusing examples of aesthetic cross-pollination.

And yes, this advice is also applicable to CSiS (thread).

Granzella released a new trailer.

The demo should be made available in the Japanese PSN store.

Granzella has a preview video of it.

Characters report

The game will allow you opportunities to meet with characters who have been affected by the earthquake.

One instance will have you confront a black marketer who will jack up prices if you expose him. Another one is a mysterious person who's being hunted down for an unknown reason.

Reports on exclusive episodes on PSVR mode.

Looks like the game director himself asked Irem to not release it way back in the day due to the massive amount of bugs that were needed to be checked/cleared out.

Looks like you can revisit old places that you've been to.

The game's going to be released with Chinese (Traditional) subtitles. So they'll probably hit Taiwan and other places in SEA where there's a Chinese-speaking populace.

The article here mentions a karma system, but it's only used to get players thinking on what'll happen if they're involved in a disaster area/disaster relief.

The game was 3rd place in the top 20 game charts in Japan.

Aside from the usual collaborations (Nissin) and Santa costumes being released,
Kojo-san said in a Famitsu article that a sequel for the game is on the table.
