Re:Dive smartphone game on Friday. The video announces Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2's returning main cast, updated main staff, and January 2022 premiere.
Director Takaomi Kanasaki (KONOSUBA, Is This a Zombie?) is returning to serve as chief director and supervise the series scripts, but the first season's episode director Yasuo Iwamoto is now the director of the new season at Cygames Pictures (Mysteria Friends, Blade Runner: Black Out 2022).

Cygames announced the game as a sequel to CyberAgent and Cygames' Princess Connect! smartphone game in 2016. The game then launched in February 2018.
In the story of the "anime RPG," the protagonist wakes up with no memories in an unfamiliar location. The protagonist then meets girls and comes closer to uncovering a hidden mystery.
The game inspired a manga adaptation through Cygames' free manga service Cycomics. wEshica/Shōgo is drawing the manga, and Asahiro Kakashi is providing the story.
