Princess Connect! Re:Dive (Japanese: プリンセスコネクト！Re:Dive, Hepburn: Purinsesu Konekuto! Ridaibu) is a Japanese role-playing video game developed by Cygames. It was released in Japan on February 15, 2018 for Android and iOS devices. The game was announced in August 2016 as a sequel to Princess Connect!, which was released on February 18, 2015 and ended service in June 2016. An anime television series adaptation by CygamesPictures aired from April 6 to June 29, 2020. A second season has been announced.
Princess Connect! Re:Dive is a real-time action role-playing game. Players can form a party of up to five members to participate in various modes such as main quests and player versus player (PvP) arena modes. New characters can be obtained via a gacha mechanic or can be exchanged with character-specific Memory Pieces (the latter is not possible for event-exclusive characters). Players are also able to form clans to qualify for participation in Clan Battles, which are similar to raid battles in a typical massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or freely chat with one another using text or in-game emojis in the clan room.
Every playable character in the game has one Union Burst (a powerful skill which can be manually activated by the player as soon as their Union Burst Meter, also known as TP in-game, is charged), two Skills (which are automatically activated at predetermined times based on character), an EX Skill (which are stat-gaining skills that are activated on the start of each battle) and an automatic regular attack. Players generally have no control over the activation of characters' skills and attacks with the exception of a Union Burst. However, all PvP arena modes are strictly on autoplay, where the character's Union Burst is activated as soon as their TP is fully charged.
