In a nontraditional manner, no new game app will be created, rather the current game app will receive a massive update and discontinue the main story line and start anew (several years later in-story) resetting the game play for all users. The story is said to take a darker tone. The game's production was announced in 2015 and the official launch is expected some time later this year. (Source: ANN, edited)
