Hatsune Miku VR Coming to HTC Vive & Oculus Rift Next Week

Japanese videogame Hatsune Miku VR has been available in various forms for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR over the last couple of years, with releases such as Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X HD and Hatsune Miku VR Future Live. Last month VRFocus reported on Degica Games and Crypton Future Media announcing Hatsune Miku VR for PC virtual reality (VR) users, today confirming a release date.

For those unaware of the Hatsune Miku videogame series, it’s a rhythm action title where you’ll dance and hit notes in the brightly coloured, neon lit world of titular character Hatsune Miku, a fictional Japanese pop star.

Using motion controllers players have to catch melody symbols that fly from the speakers at the back of the stage as Miku sings and dances away to some of her most iconic songs. Things start to get difficult when long riff symbols and other challenges are introduced, making it harder to hit those perfect high scores.

Song list:

  • Ievan Polkka (by Otomania)
  • Singularity (by keisei)
  • Amagoi Miseinen (by Wada Takeaki ‘Kurage P’)
  • Sharing The World (by BIGHEAD)
  • Senbonzakura (by 黒うさＰ)
  • + 3 songs

Just like the other versions of the rhythm videogame Hatsune Miku VR comes with eight songs to begin with. Further songs will be added in the future usually through DLC add-on packs.

In addition to the announcement Degica Games is running a giveaway competition, with participants able to win tickets to the USA & Mexico Miku Expo 2018 concerts as the top prize, Hatsune Miku figures and Hatsune Miku: Magical Mirai 2017 Blu-ray DVD are also on offer. Head to the Hatsune Miku VR Giveaway page to enter and find out more.

Degica Games has released quite a few VR titles on Steam in the last couple of years, with titles like: Sayonara Umihara Kawase, Destroyer, Head It!: VR Soccer Heading Game, Hop Step Sing! Kimamani☆Summer vacation (HQ Edition) and several more.

Hatsune Miku VR will be released on Steam for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive next Thursday, 8th March, 2018. For any further updates from Degiva Games, keep reading VRFocus.

Hatsune Miku VR Dances onto Steam VR in Early 2018

We bought into virtual reality (VR) for anime girls. All of us did, it’s a fact. Well maybe it was just me, but regardless, it can only be good news that Hatsune Miku is dancing her way onto Steam VR in the first half of this year.

Hatsune Miku VR is, as Miku fans will have probably already guessed, a rhythm action videogame where you’ll dance and hit notes along to great tracks from Miku and a bunch of composers.

Hatsune Miku VR is being developed by Degica Games, licensed from Crypton Future Media, who own the Hatsune Miku vocaloid brand. We’ve seen Degica Games bring titles to VR platforms before, with VR Sports. It’s certainly a world away from a Hatsune Miku game, but we hope they can bring a high level of quality and polish to the title.

Hatsune Miku is no stranger to VR either, as she was there right when PlayStation VR launched, dancing and singing away as we all got sucked into the future of entertainment. We haven’t seen much from Miku in VR since late 2016 when we got the last batch of Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live DLC.

The new game will, naturally, be adapted to VR controllers like the Oculus Touch. There will be eight songs with two difficulties each, adapted for more intense action, and Miku will have an original dance to go along with each track. More songs and perhaps difficulties are planned for after release.

Hatsune Miku games are often developed and published by Sega, so it’s interesting to see a developer not associated with Sega take the reigns for the Miku’s latest VR venture – we can only hope it’s still up to the usual high standards associated with a Hatsune Miku game.

Wether or not you’re usually the type to be dancing along with Hatsune Miku songs, if you’re a PlayStation VR owner you’ll be happy to know you can try Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live for free on PSN. Owners of PC head-mounted displays (HMDs) will have to wait for Hatsune Miku VR to release this year to get their fix. For more news on when Hatsune Miku VR hits the masses, keep reading VRFocus.
