Summer Lesson already has two instalments, but it seems like a third is on the way. Famitsu has revealed the silhouette of a new character set to join Bandai Namco’s voyeuristic PlayStation VR series, who’s named Chisato Shinjo. Apparently, she’s a lady who lives in a large mansion, so expect a more snobbish personality this time around, perhaps?
No other details have been revealed at this time, but the developer says that it’s planning inventive “new virtual reality experiences” for the game. This one will probably be officially revealed at Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference next month.
Unfortunately, it'll never be released in the West, as Bandai Namco has expressed cultural differences as justification for the first two titles never touching these shores.

Obviously I haven't played the first two installments but I am worried about the new character. From the picture, she looks like a crime victim giving testimony anonymously to a court from a secret location.
This series has gone to a dark place.
i'm in.
She's also the next Tekken 7 DLC character.
Needs benny hill dlc
teaching english=pervy?
A pity that the East does not consider the West pervy enough.
Hey Bamco! Remember a game where they said that they wouldn't release in the West because gamers there aren't hardcore enough? Some game about demons? And souls?
Remember that?
you know if they went away from the whole school girl thing this kind of tech could be pretty interesting
imagine if you could meat virtual version of famous people from the past, or visit different famous locations from different points in time such as Venice during the Italian Renascence or the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt
i would love to play a game like that, yeah you might class it as "educational" but it sure would be interesting
speaking of education it would be handy in the school room as well
Going to be a weird TGS for sure, but they always are. Looking forward to it. Their Japanese branch never fails to surprise me in ways I couldn't think of.
They aren't half bad, a tad pricey but enjoyable....
It may be pervy, but if it doesn't feature teleportation as an excuse for locomotion, its automatically better than 80% of non-pervy games out for VR
The game isn't not coming to the west because it's "pervy." It's not coming to the west because when Western gamers see a VR game about bonding over tutoring a Japanese girl in English or an American girl in Japanese, instead of thinking "wow, what a fascinating experience that would be to play," they apparently think "wow, what kind of desperate perv would get his jollies from that stupid junk."
The first game is avalable with english subs (look for the asia version) and is actually quite impressive... Even if it's... well, quite pointless, too. The gameplay is just the ultimate zero of gameplay, you look at the girl, ask her one question by choosing between two or three, and that's it.
But the reactions of the girl and the feeling of immersion is awesome.
