Short Story collection book
A collection book including short stories is scheduled to be released this winter.
DYNAMIC CHORD JAM&JOIN is… back
And wrapping up this news is the return of… DYNAMIC CHORD JAM&JOIN, the smartphone game.
The heavily criticized gatcha game returns as a digital archive collection.
At the moment, it is not known whether this means the app – as everyone knew it – is going to be released as an on-off purchase game (like archive apps usually are) or if it’ll be in a completely different format (taking into account it is going to be a “collection”).
This is scheduled to be released this year.
More details about all these contents will be unveiled in the upcoming months. Watch this space for further updates.
What is DYNAMIC CHORD?
DYNAMIC CHORD is a mixed-media project launched in 2014. It kicked off with visual novels, sooner branched out to drama CDs and then to music releases.
In 2017, an anime adaptation premiered – although met with tough criticism – and a smartphone game was launched in 2018 and was soon discontinued.
The project features 4 bands, all tied to each other in one way or another.
