I don't think they do, but the release of this character is too close to the reveal in the show for me to write it off as coincidence. The Survival Arc event has been changing banners and adding new levels constantly, so I think it's attempting to keep up with the show. It's entirely speculation that there's a transformation past this one, but the show seems to hint that there's more to it than what happened this past week, and I wouldn't say it's impossible for Bandai to either request or receive some character designs from the animation studio.

But all the same it's conjecture. I think it's weird that we have a character reveal the same time as the show without a TUR version, but it could very well just end up being the usual.
