It was released in Japan on February 15, 2018 for Android and iOS devices. The game was announced in August 2016 as a sequel to Princess Connect!, which was released on February 18, 2015 and ended service in June 2016.[1] An anime television series adaptation by CygamesPictures aired from April 6 to June 29, 2020.

Story[]

After the events of Princess Connect!, the Twinkle Wish guild ascend the Tower of Sol where they reach the very top and encounter Mana Senri who merged with Minerva. After wiping out Hiyori and Rei, Yūki is severely injured and shields Yui from an attack before he is engulfed by Mana's attack. Yūki awakens in an unknown location and meets Ameth, who seems to be familiar with him. With no time, she sends him down to Landsol where he is given a vague mission that he must do.

Upon awakening, Yūki has lost all memory. He is met by Kokkoro, a girl assigned by Ameth to be his guide on his adventures. Shortly afterwards he meets a swordswoman with a voracious appetite, whom the duo nickname Pecorine, and later a cat-beast race girl Kyarl. The group founds Gourmet Edifice with the goal of going on adventures while eating the food that Landsol has to offer. As for Yūki, he is determined to recover his memories and complete the mission Ameth has in store for him.

Gameplay[]

Princess Connect! Re:Dive is a real-time action role-playing game. Players can form a party of up to five members to participate in various modes such as main quests and player versus player (PvP) arena modes. New characters can be obtained via a gacha mechanic or can be exchanged with character-specific Memory Pieces (the latter is not possible for event-exclusive characters). Players are also able to form clans to qualify for participation in Clan Battles, which are similar to raid battles in a typical massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or freely chat with one another using text or in-game emojis in the clan room.

Every playable character in the game has one Union Burst (a powerful skill which can be manually activated by the player as soon as their Union Burst Meter, also known as TP in-game, is charged), two Skills (which are automatically activated at predetermined times based on character), an EX Skill (which are stat-gaining skills that are activated on the start of each battle) and an automatic regular attack. Players generally have no control over the activation of characters' skills and attacks with the exception of a Union Burst. However, all PvP arena modes are strictly on autoplay, where the character's Union Burst is activated as soon as their TP is fully charged.
