Summary:
Patent Filings (for now)
Speculation that this could be an EPD 9 project as Konishi has traditionally worked in that group and Konno/Oyagi only being listed under Special Thanks on MK. Though Hamue is also here and has only been credited on EPD 4 titles.
The developer's preview image may provide some hints.

Connie = Yoshinori Konishi
Mercy = ?
Jilly = Takahisa Ikejiri?
Oliver = ?
Mikey = ?
Hammer = Hiroki Hamaue
Oiver could be Olivier Nizard. New EPD Planner — although he was one of the leads of MK World so it would be quite the multi task.
