Surprisingly,Though it is released in Japan, it is not Japan color pattern but world color pattern.

That 2x2 core looks like the lanlan core that is used on the 4x4.

Does it have removable caps so one can tension the cube? (yes you can even slightly tension the 4x4 lanlan ball core).

So this early this year we get the PanShi, we get a v-cube 4 that may or may not be good, and umm... we get this. Interesting times.

Made far more interesting by the legal instruments the old guard has crafted to protect themselves. Hope they don't use those but instead get it in gear to have an actual innovation war.

Oh wow, interesting mechanism. The detachable sunken tiles/stickers is especially new, and I don't think I've seen a 3x3 ball core like that before (although I could be wrong). I doubt it'll take over the speedcubing world but it would be awesome if they improved the turning quality of the official cubes. (And here's hoping they put a bit of lube in at the factory ;) )

interesting looking... I'll probably wait until some people review it before I buy it. I think that'd be cool if Rubik's actually had a good speedcube, comparable to a dayan
