It's not per se described as a Gaiden, but just "Drive Saga Rider Chaser." There's also a "Chaser Break Gunner Special Edition"

Drive's Twitter has updated to say that there'll be an announcement after tonight's episode, so it looks like that's the announcement. It was rumoured there would be a Chase & Mach V-Cinema release, but I can't see a listing for Mach on Rakuten. Maybe if there is one it will be released later?

It's official now.

Kamen Rider Drive: Drive Saga - Kamen Rider Chaser will be a V-Cinema release. From what I can tell, it address the roidmudes that were listed as destroyed but never seen on TV. Release scheduled to be 20th April, plus just like the lockseeds in Gaim, you'll get a special edition of the Break Gunner, which has lines from the actor as well as a new Viral Core.

Chaser, is a character that deserves this.

So is it safe to say Drive is a successful and popular series in Japan with the release of Lupin special and now Chaser V-Cinema?

Ratings and Blu-ray sales-wise, yes. Merchandise sales-wise, definitely not.

But merchandise sales have been low for the past few years, haven't they?

I am glad the episode 48 don't seems to ruin anything XD a good epilogue for tomari for a crossover epiosde

since OOO yes, declining sales on merchandise but they announced that sales raise very high during gaim (raise by 390% i believe from a scan http://imgur.com/s8Jb1qO )..., even some said surpassing the sentai merchandise sales

Thunder025, I'm curious. Was the movie any good? From the commercials, it looks like the movie is at W Forever level.

It is a great movie. I really enjoyed and it's probably one of the best ones of the post-Decade ones
