Tempus, the first Hololive all-male English VTuber unit, is about to go on a new adventure. The group debuted in July 2022, and a new teaser by Hololive Production’s English branch suggests that it’ll be going off in search of new friends.
The teaser was posted to the official Hololive English Twitter account on January 3, 2023. The video teased a reveal scheduled for January 4, 2023, at 7pm PST/10pm ET/12pm JST.

The clip opens with Tempus VTuber Regis Altare reciting text on screen. He refers to Elysium, the name of the digital world that serves as the home of Tempus, which is an Adventuring Guild. Regis says that “they had to make their move, to learn more about the world, and to find new adventures and some new friends.” Exactly what this means for the group is unclear. It could be the debut of a new member. Or perhaps, some collaboration between the four or with other Hololive VTubers on a joint project.
The teaser then transitions to art of the group poring over various maps, in search of said adventure. In the Holostars Tempus back matter, Elysium is a digital world that symbolizes humanity’s abandonment of corporeal existence. However, Elysium is threatened by a phenomenon called “Records Corruption.” Tempus itself is an adventurer’s guild, which makes its home in the city’s most popular downtown pub.
Regis’ spiel appears to reference the story told in Hololive Tempus’ debut manga. In the manga, which is viewable on the official website, Regis awakes and begins seeking out fellows to join his party. These naturally include the other members of Tempus: Magni Dezmond, Axel Syrios, and Noir Vesper.
Hololive Tempus’ new development will be revealed on January 4, 2023. The members’ individual channels are viewable on YouTube.
