Additionally, Satoshi and Miku have been unable to share any additional details, as crucial information will be revealed once the production process is complete.

It continues:
But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!
