SEGA has today held a demo event for their upcoming new Virtual-On game A Certain Magical Virtual-On at Animate Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan. The new demo build confirms a 13th playable Virtuaroid which was not shown in the recently published new trailer, which is called the Bal-Bados and will be available as the second Virtuaroid for Index (who is currently confirmed to also pilot the Bal-RlooN).
As the producer of A Certain Magical Virtual-On, Juro Watari, also attended the event, Japanese media outlets such as Dengeki used the opportunity to interview him to gain more details about the game. We have translated the interview, which you can read right away.
Dengeki: Please tell us the current development status.
Watari: It’s already about 90% done. We just need to focus on detailed works like bug fixing and adjustments. The development is also wrapping up, so the workplace is in a frenzy right now (laughs). Dengeki: You have held a demo event at Akihabara just now, but are you planning to hold more events where this game can be played in the near future"
Watari: If we only stayed in Tokyo then people in other regions wouldn’t be able to check it out, so I’d like to do that as well. Also, we have decided to publish a demo version on PS4 and PS Vita, so please kindly play that one!
The public demo will have the same version as the one playable in this event. You cannot play online battles, but you can enjoy the tutorial and CPU battles using 13 Virtuaroi...
