so apparently gate of cassel does an official offline event with live record on their douyin (Chinese tiktok). The event is hostclub-styled and themed after Takamagahara (the host club from the 3rd book). It features cosplayers of Lu Mingfei, Caesar, Zihang (in their host images), Kazama Ruri, Sakatoku Mai and Su Enxi. The start of the live is, !by Beijing time!, March 16th 2-3pm (Im not sure about precise time)
Im not sure if registration on douyin is even possible, but it let me watch videos and even like them, so I imagine it'll be possible to watch a live
all the links and some screenshots from PVs below cut

gate of cassel douyin link (doesnt work on PC for some reason)
douyin PV link (watching it on pc seems pretty nice)
so. I've tried verbally communicating on English for my reasons some days ago. And it sounded exactly like Zero's voice from Gate of Cassel. If not worse. I'm taking back my accusations, her accent is more than legit
So, about the Gate of Cassel public beta. It's open to download from its webpage and so far lets you see some loading arts (mostly of which have been shared there already or are from different PVs) and watch an animation sequence of compilated donghua scenes with donghua opening for background music in the starting screen (I couldn't record this because the music couldn't be recorded). For anything further than that, you need to sign up with a Chinese phone number. I still have no idea how the person all VA recordings are being shared from got in
The public beta webpage is here (I believe since it's a public beta it isn't unethical to share it in non-Chinese spaces, but correct me if I'm wrong). You can choose either android or ios icon to download the file, with all process including apk I believe 7gb of space should be more than fine (after all downloadings, including in-game one, the game itself is 2.6gb)
Beisdes the game file that webpage contains the most recent PV and some more title arts for several characters
I don't remember if I've seen those being shared or not, so here are the screenshots of character title arts from Gate of Cassel public beta webpage if you wanna:
(I wasn't able to just download them since these are a bunch of layers)
Some new interesting stuff about Bilibili posted official videos on Gate of Cassel (spoiler: first English voice acting reveals found)
So currently I'm preparing a categorisation post with links to all major Gate of Cassel video materials (like PVs, character PVs etc) and I found something interesting. When watching some of videos there, there might be a panel on the middle-right, functioning basically like a playlist selection (check the screenshot):
It explains why some videos are displayed more lengthy than they are in Bilibili (because apparetnly it's the sum of lengths of all videos that is displayed), but more to that could show different versions of a video. I highly encourage everybody who's watching the official content on Bilibili to check that section, since what I found among those is an, supposedly official, English voicing of the Zihang & Xia Mi PV! Which I believe is first found English VA for the new game (if it wasn't shared in Discords ofc)
[@chuuzihangg sorry if you're against tagging but I believe you'll like this]
P.S.: I actually first time, and so far only, noticed this in Zihang&Xia Mi pv, and characters PVs do not have this so far (at least ones I've checked today) but when making the future post I'll re-check pvs and add additional links if notice more English VA versions
P.P.S: English voice acting is the fourth video in the 'playlist', third one is Japanese VA, and the first two are both Chinese, I've not noticed any superficial differences in those two so far
