I'm sure it isn't final. Actually I have a feeling that the concept art will be the background for ZTD's box art.

That's just mock/placeholder box art, definitely not final haha
Niceee!

Really like that art piece, hope it representative of the style they're going with in the game.
Don't really care about it being digital only, but eu better get the dub, or else I'll import it.

HAHA..... hyeeeessss.....
Both. Time travel has a strong emphasis in the story.

It's... both. And that actually makes sense within this universe.

Ah that's good, was hoping this wasn't just a prequel. Thanks guys.
On another note a digital release only in Europe sucks especially since VLR got a physical one.
If you've played VLR you should know and if you haven't then you shouldn't be asking. You can't play this game before 999 and VLR.

I've played (and platinumed) VLR but I can't even remember the end very well, just when I found out this game was set before I thought it might have been a prequel in every sense.
Its a continuation of the event in VLR so its a sequel

WHAT ABOUT 999 THO?
This saddens me, specifically when applied to 999 (Nishimura or no, design work all around was weaker in VLR). Personally, I see the shift from Nishimura to something more bland and grounded as a reason to doubt the project.
If you didn't care for the writing in either of the previous games, I'd suggest not expecting to like this one any better, because Uchikoshi certainly hasn't gone anywhere.

That concept art looks really off to me

GET HYPE

That'd be because this is obviously fan made/fake.

playing 999 again after opening this thread
I'll admit, I impulse balked at it and started to question my inclination after that post, but I still don't know... Could be real.

Well one thing I don't really get is (VLR spoily spoily)
ZTD is supposed to take place right after Sigma faints in his car at the very beginning of VLR. Why does he look so much older compared to VLR?
Given the first people following that account were Aksys folks, it looks pretty likely that this is real. Also I don't think Aksys would be acting like a piece of fanart is real if it had the "copyright/license" notice on it, which suggests the art itself is official.
Oh man.
Yeah, that would indicate it's real. Whole thing still feels kinda odd, though, but I guess that's their way of doing things.
Could potentially just be a difference in art style, too, if it's not something much more intriguing.

Art looks better every time I look at it
BTW I just realized someone shouted "WHAT'S IN THE BOX" at the ZTD reveal, lmao

VLR spoiler
I don't trust Zero Escape with it being just a difference in art style after the "old man" twist in VLR

Sorry, but what in the world are you talking about?

I think the art looks fine for a character's profile picture. It depends on how it will translate in-game, but it's in line with the more mature/dark image we saw in the first teaser, so it's all good for me.
Yeah I was about to say this. I kind of like it but I am interested in seeing how the 3D models look.
Assuming it is real (which is pretty likely, but paging Bo and all that), it's an interesting shift in art style. I still kind of wish they could've gotten the artist for the first two games back (or if it's the same artist, to stick to the old style) for consistency's sake, but it's not bad.

Ah, gotcha. Couldn't remember if the artist swap had been confirmed.
To be fair, GT, that image up above is the finalized, promo art for all the characters in VLR; the ZE3 art looks like something closer to Sigma's basic concept art:
There'll probably be more detail in full promo pictures, like the one they showed off at the reveal.

Not that it matters, but apparently this tweetface.co account uploaded the identical picture as participant9.jpg as well

Damn, was gonna post that earlier, but I couldn't find this thread...
I really don't think that's Sigma, but rather a new character entirely. We'll have to see though. I also find it interesting that we only got "Participant 9" instead of a name (unless that is their name, like K). We got character names right away with VLR, and why wouldn't they just call him Sigma (or Participant 9 / Sigma) if that's who it is?

I wonder if this is all coming today, or in the next few days or weeks? Screenshots, trailer soon?

Worth reminding that Crash Keys is (VLR)
edit:
Was 22nd Dec an important date in VLR?
the name of Akane's organization
