Pre-registration opened the same day. The music is SEVENTH HEAVEN by milet.

A convertible at sunset
A girl with lavender hair, fox ears and a cap rides in a convertible at sunset. A highway bridge crosses a bay toward a city of towers, and the car drives along an elevated road. At the wheel sits the Captain in a black jacket and blue tie; the girl next to him wears pink round sunglasses.
Editorial assumption. The fox-eared girl looks like Lykaia, who drives the Captain around in the 2025 gameplay video.

The city from the sea
A wide shot of a coastal city: a beach with boats, a railway line along the shore, dense low blocks, glass towers and a red Ferris wheel among them.
Editorial assumption. This is Nova City, the setting of the whole trailer; the red Ferris wheel among towers also appears in the official Downtown gallery.

A street race
Sports cars drift past a crowd at an evening street race, under RACING MAX SPEED banners and N90, TURBO and KAZAMA ads.

Skatepark and a jet ride
A skatepark from above: a skater flips over a ramp. Taffy, in a teal jacket, speeds down a city street at road level on a jet-powered contraption, passing an SUV with KAZAMA on its spare wheel. A car turns onto a crossing full of pedestrians under a Battle Resolve billboard.
Editorial assumption. The jet ride is most likely Taffy’s hammer: in 2023 producer Ash Qi said it works both as a weapon and as a vehicle.

Concert, ice cream, rooftop party
A band plays to a packed hall under blue spotlights. A lavender-haired girl with small horns and a cowbell on her collar holds a huge ice cream cone while a glowing jellyfish-like creature floats over the street behind her. People party by a rooftop pool high above the city, next to HBD balloons.
Editorial assumption. The glowing creature is probably one of the Chaos anomalies that, per NetEase, fill Nova City.

Beach and a helicopter
A crowded beach with umbrellas and sunbathers, a girl diving for a ball at beach volleyball, then a view straight down onto city blocks with a helicopter flying over them.

A livestream from the car
A phone livestream from the channel MIMIKO, marked HOT: a blonde girl in a mechanical headset and a white-haired girl in a teal jacket in a car. The chat reads “Car! Watch out! Car!” and “Scariest stream ever”, viewers send hearts.

Mahjong and streetball
The Captain sits at a mahjong table under a huge calligraphy scroll; a blonde girl in a maid outfit leaps onto the table as banknotes fly, and a man in a robot helmet sits opposite. A player slam-dunks on a streetball court under an overpass.

Police at work
A pink-haired girl with small horns and a blue tie eats a burger in an office with a city map covered in red strings; behind her sit the Captain and men in suits. Officers with AEGIS on their armor take cover behind police cars and aim. Fighters in red-and-black armor fly through the air above a highway.
Editorial assumption. The pink-haired girl with horns looks like an early version of Richie, the NCCA police officer.

Toilets on the highway
From the driver’s seat: toilets on long mechanical legs run down a highway next to a yellow taxi and a bus. A red car speeds across an intersection under fire.
Editorial assumption. This is the joke from the video description about a toilet racing next to a driver. NetEase’s December 2024 press release also lists toilets racing through traffic among the Chaos in the city.

The red-masked gang
The Captain watches a woman come down a dark staircase. A man in a spiked red helmet aims a gun shaped like a hairdryer. A street outside an izakaya is full of gang members in spiked red masks with saws and clubs, seen from above.

Allies and a chainsaw
The Captain stands between a blue-haired girl with rabbit ears and a pink-haired girl in a cap and headphones. A white-haired woman with a mechanical arm holds out her hand. Gang members with chainsaws surround an SUV by a shop with an ALL WEAR Super Discount sign.

Hot in uniform
The Captain drives a blue convertible at night with the fox-eared girl. A social media post by Nelectric shows a train with a giant circular saw in a sunset sky and the caption “The world never heard the hero’s footsteps because he flew in #A.C.D #HotInUniform”. Taffy and the Captain ride in a car and put on sunglasses; Taffy’s are pixelated.

Swinging and gunfights
A figure swings on a line between skyscrapers. The Captain fires from behind a car at night. A huge glowing blade slashes across a street. The Captain crawls along the asphalt, and Taffy falls past a building with lightning around her.

Anomalies and powers
A dark mass with glowing eyes fills a room; glowing purple hands rise from the floor. A pink-haired girl in a cap winks over a spray can, then stands on a giant graffiti on the pavement as enemies fly back, a red Ferris wheel behind her. A lavender-haired girl swings a glowing stick. In a hall of framed portrait drawings, a giant stone bust with floating hands fights a small figure.
Editorial assumption. The creatures and the stone bust look like Chaos anomalies, the threats the ACD deals with.

Street fights
The Captain fires a glowing weapon at an oncoming car. A girl fights a walking robot carrying a car on a street. Someone is thrown through a shop front. The Captain thrusts a glowing palm at the camera, and sparks fly in a dark fight.

Neon streets
The fox-eared girl steps in front of a pickup on a street of neon signs and restaurants. A red convertible drives down a sunny avenue past a TOON sign.

Darts, a cat and a soda
A woman in a white visor throws darts in a club next to the Captain. A pink-haired girl with headphones hugs a calico cat. The fox-eared girl holds out a SODA POP can on a waterfront at sunset.
