Effectively, once you complete 100 in-game days, you roll the credits and then commence &#8216;New Game +&#8217; (although the title menu does, in fact, display &#8216;The Hundred Line 2&#8217;), during which you make key decisions to splinter the narrative into dozens of potential branches.<\/p>\n<p>So, the first 100 days is &#8216;The Hundred Line&#8217;, while the following narrative is &#8216;The Hundred Line 2&#8217;. So there you go: it&#8217;s now officially two games in one! So the title that launched last year is now being described as a &#8216;value 1 &amp; 2 pack&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the occasion, a new trailer has been released (above) to highlight the events that take place in the &#8216;sequel&#8217;, while a brand new piece of key art has been shared to demonstrate the two distinct narratives. Pardon the poor quality, it&#8217;s the best we could find from an official source.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture\" data-uuid=\"748e0723798c0\"><a class=\"scanlines\" title=\"Hundred Line 2\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/748e0723798c0\/hundred-line-2.large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/748e0723798c0\/hundred-line-2.900x.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"533\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Hundred Line 2\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\"><span class><\/span> Image: Aniplex<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition, it&#8217;s been confirmed that an official soundtrack is launching on all major streaming services on <strong>17th January 2026<\/strong>.
