Sorry if someone already made a thread on this, I hadn't seen it yet.

A new Eva game was announced at the Tokyo Game Show today. The game is called Evangelion Battlefields (エヴァンゲリオンバトルフィールズ). EDIT: It's a smartphone game, not a console game like I originally thought.

This might not be correct but I THINK it's an online game of some kind (says it's a "network" type game, I think this means online game, but googling the term it used just comes up with the promotional video for the game itself so...thanks...). It's set in the Rebuild universe.

It's also a Skylanders-type game, which means you collect figures and put them on a podium to insert characters into the game.

Image

It looks like the base pack will come with the Unit-01 podium, Shinji, Rei and Mari, although I would be surprised if Asuka and Kaworu aren't also included in it, I can't see either of their figures anywhere yet so they're probably unfinished.

Image
Pictured seems to be, from left to right, Toji, Misato(?), Ritsuko, Mari, (I think this is Rei in her school uniform), Maya.

I'm not sure how everyone feels about it being a Skylanders-type game, but I'm pretty excited to see another Eva game after so long regardless. I hope it gets a Western release.

Edit: Changed the name of the thread since the game has already been released.

Interesting, but I hear it's a mobile game actually. Does look like a 3D rebuild though, so I'll give whoever's developing the game props for that.

Wake me up when we get something EVA-Related from Capcom or Square Enix or somethin'.

You're right! I just saw the Minna no Eva Fan article on it, I couldn't find mention of it being a smartphone game in the original posts I saw and assumed it was a console game because of the figure podium thing ^^; I'll edit the OP to fix that.

If this was on console, I'd 103% be playing it and collecting any and all of the figures, but on mobile, I think I'll pass.
Having these figure setups is great on a home console, but way too much of a hassle to do on a mobile device

I have seen some cutscenes with minor little character interactions on youtube (I've seen some on youtube - like the one where Touji tries to get a moody Shinji to cheer up or the one where Maya tells Rei to take a break once in a while) also there's a new Original character in the vein of Mayumi/Mana/Maria in a nice red and white plugsuit.
Here are some of them

If anyone with the means to do so would compile them all and possibly everything else in the vein of "plot" they would have my eternal gratitude

New pilot is Kotone Suzunami (涼波コトネ).

Damnit.... I looked up the character Kotone Suzunami and I really liked her design.

... When can I get merchandise of her?

In the clips I've seen so far she seems to have a preppy attitude/personality, "Reporting for duty, looking forward to working with you~" which I suppose is sufficiently different from the others to be interesting/complementary, I hope the above dude eventually uploads more of those lil scenes of the chars interacting, especially involving the new ppl.

EDIT: Someone seems to have compiled what her deal is here: https://evangelion.fandom.com/wiki/Kotone_Suzunami

All the information I can find on this game are descriptions of its gameplay mechanics, along with some images and brief descriptions of the two new characters introduced. Does anyone have any detailed information? Is it actually set in Rebuild of Evangelion, or does it simply borrow characters (e.g. Mari), designs and names (Asuka is Shikinami rather than Souryuu) from it? Does it have any sort of storyline, or does it simply exist in some sort of vague "limbo"? Do the new characters get explored and given character depth? In particular, what sets Kotone's personality (described as "bubbly", "bright and happy") apart from Mana's?

to the extent of my knowledge, it is just a fighting game like Battle Orchestra and Breaking Dawn before it, essentially taking the established setting and just doing whatever with it.
the wiki article Kendrix posted seems to be the extent of characterization she has gotten

Typed in Kotone Suzunami in Youtube and got two videos of her chatting to Gendo. Turn on the Youtube Closed Captions and you get translations.

Yep. She's a cutie alright and I like her.

This account is also putting up a lot of clips from the game. All with translations.

Well, those two videos at least add one thing: She's doing up-close surveillance on the pilots for Gendou for some unknown reason, though she seems to have had a different impression of what she was doing (perhaps believing that Gendou was trying to look out for his son, not knowing that he views them merely as pawns) and at least has enough moral scruples to find it and Gendou's apathy morally questionable. Still does leave her like an ersatz for Mana, only with her affiliation being to Gendou rather than the Japanese government.

Also, I can understand if the staff wants to keep the conversation in a single thread, but can we at least change the title to something that isn't so obviously outdated?

And more developed as a character. Kotone's best chance at this point is to get the Mari treatment, i.e. somehow prove popular enough that she feature in doujinshi and a sort of common portrayal emerges from enough of them that is viable for mainstream usage (in Mari's case, being a sexually open-minded free spirit).

Mm.

I'm also a little miffed by how every extracanonical pilot must be a girl and half-Japanese at the least.

Except for the concepts described in that one artbook.
