It's legit - it's from the intellectual property database's Twitter bot. And it's definitely not Excite, as weird as Ex-Aid is, that's the actual romaji that appears on the registration. Excite would be イクサイト.

As far as writer goes, I'm always open to Toshiki Inoue giving it a shot once again. It's been long enough that he could have possibly recharged. If not him, I'd prefer a new writer - the Ghost writer won't do two years in a row, Sanjo is taking a break from TV writing to focus on his manga, and I'm not a huge fan of Kobayashi's Kamen Rider. (Her Sentai are fantastic though)

I've also seen people absolutely sure that this new Rider is an emergency rescue worker or what have you because of the name and I'd like to advice some caution. With Drive, we knew it was going to involve a vehicle but had no idea it was a cop show, we knew Gaim involved armors but had no idea about the fruits. Toei doesn't always go with the obvious.
