A beta test will be conducted from December 2 to December 9 on mobile platforms. There will be a total of 3,000 applicants chosen to participate in the closed beta test, evenly split between Android and iOS. If the number of applicants exceeds the allotted amount, then DMM will deploy a lottery system to decide who gets to join it.

 

 

Blue Reflection Sun follows a phenomenon that occurred a year and a half ago that caused ash to fall from the sky. While nothing suspicious happened immediately, the world’s inhabitants eventually learned that the ash was a toxic substance that invades bodies.

 

Currently, it’s unknown whether Blue Reflection Sun will make its way outside of Japan, or will be ported to other platforms.
