At least that's what Kenji Eno, the game's producer, says

It looks like the first publicly unveiled Dreamcast title will be arriving in Japan this year. D2, unveiled to the public last May, is currently in beta form and is scheduled for a Japanese release on December 23.

This information actually comes our way via Kenji Eno's diary page (it's in Japanese, but you can see it by clicking here), which Mr. Eno chose to update for the first time since July. It turns out that Eno came to America in July, as revealed by the previous entry to his diary, which would explain our having seen the man at Sega of America's corporate offices around that time.

Anyway, also revealed by Eno's diary entry is that the game is currently undergoing bug testing, and that it may end up shipping as five disks, although it currently stands at four. When you consider that it features full motion video for only the beginning and ending sequences, filling up a full five GD-ROMS must be quite a task.
