While we can expect the same video encode and extras as the 2013 remastered BD, Fox Japan have updated the audio specs, and this may include some semi-valuable material for superfans of the film....lossless mono audio tracks.

Right now, the audio tracks are as follows:

1. English: DTS-HD MA 5.1
2. Japanese: DTS-HD MA 1.0 (TV Asahi dub)
3. Japanese: DTS-HD MA 2.0 (TV Tokyo dub)
4. Japanese: DTS-HD MA 1.0 (VHS dub)
5. Japanese: DTS 5.1 (BD/DVD dub)

The two TV dubs seem to be missing some audio (which will be replaced with original language/subtitles) but it appears the Japanese VHS mono track may be complete.

So finally, a release of this disc without the bad Genisys-inspired artwork, and without the Japanese paper materials, and in a nice-looking SteelBook, at that.

Here is a video Fox Japan uploaded comparing the four different Japanese dub tracks:
