Series creator Takeshi Konomi will be overseeing the match making of the game itself, so it is still unclear as to where this new OVA special will take place in The Prince of Tennis' timeline.
Watch out for The Prince of Tennis: Hyotei vs Rikkai Game of Future that will be released in Japan in two parts across February and March 2021.
