Additional details about Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections will be revealed in the future.

Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections is a virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) adaptation of the acclaimed series. Players will relive all 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion through the perspective of an original character. Gameplay will emphasize story driven exploration across iconic locations, large scale battles between Evangelions and Angels, and interactive moments woven into a captivating narrative. It will be released as a trilogy, with the first installment covering the events from Episode 1 through Episode 11.

Set 15 years after a cataclysmic event, Neon Genesis Evangelion follows Shinji Ikari, who is recruited by his estranged father to pilot an Evangelion in humanity’s desperate battle against beings known as Angels. The series has been widely praised for deconstructing the mecha genre while exploring complex religious symbolism and profound themes of individuality, freedom, and personal choice.

The original series aired from 1995 to 1996 and concluded with the film The End of Evangelion. It was later reimagined through the Rebuild of Evangelion saga, which began in 2007. Due to copyright disputes, the original series had not been broadcast since the early 2000s until Netflix acquired the streaming rights in 2018.
