Spoilers
The series was confirmed in the final chapter of The Freshman, Book 4, and on the Choices Book Club, as the daily topic was: "What are you looking forward to the most in The Sophomore?"
On July 13, 2017, PB released a blog about this book.[1]
Several fans are against Becca moving in with your character due to her unrelenting rude behavior and have stated that they wished allowing Becca to move in was the player's choice.
There was a three-week hiatus between Chapter 14 and Chapter 15, for the release of The Sophomore: Hartfeld Horror Story. Upon the special's completion, The Sophomore continued its progression.
Limetown Studios designed all of the book covers of The Freshman series.[2]
More specifically, the Limetown Studios artists that worked on the book covers are named Gus Lima (Drawing), and Daniel Bogni and Amanda Duarte (Painting).[3][4]

In a premium scene of Chapter 10, Aaron and Zig give names to some animals. The names are Chelsa, Saran, Owen and Maya. Aaron also buys a plush goat toy and names it Wendy. All these are names of Writers at Pixelberry.
