As we will also announce in the YouTube live stream, we plan to revise the selling prices of the Chuo Line Rapid Service DLC, Oito Line DLC, and Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line DLC on Tuesday, August 5, 2024.
Currently, the above three lines have been priced more affordably than other DLCs.
However, with the recent update of the Oito Line, which includes the driver's call voice, and the recent update of the Chuo Line Rapid Train, Saikyo Line, and Kawagoe Line, which includes additional schedules and conductor broadcasts, the experience is now on the same level as the other lines we have recently distributed.
Therefore, we would like to change the selling price to the same level as other lines.
For those who are considering purchasing the following DLC, we recommend that you purchase as soon as possible.
【Eligible Routes】
- Chuo Line Rapid Service (between Takao and Tokyo)
- Oito Line (between Matsumoto and Minami-Otari)
- Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line (between Osaki and Kawagoe)
