On the 9th, Nintendo officially announced the release date for 'Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars,' the latest entry in the Rhythm Heaven series, via the Nintendo Today app and its official social media channels. This new title, the first in 11 years since the 2015 Nintendo 3DS release of 'Rhythm Heaven Megamix,' commemorates the series' 20th anniversary and is scheduled for release on July 2.

Following the announcement, producer Tsunku♂ quoted the social media post to express his excitement for the upcoming release. He remarked, 'It felt like a long time, yet also like a blink of an eye; I am sorry for the long wait,' while adding, 'It has become a rhythm game that is incredibly exciting and heart-pounding.'

Singer and producer Tsunku♂ has been responsible for the music across all titles in the Rhythm Heaven series, defining its unique style with his signature sense of rhythm and highly immersive compositions. He had previously confirmed his involvement in this project and shared his anticipation for the game on social media when it was first unveiled during a Nintendo Direct last March.

Along with the release date, Nintendo showcased a new internal rhythm game. Titled 'Slice N Dice Kitchen,' the game involves preparing ingredients in a kitchen. Players catch incoming ingredients to the beat and slice them in time with the rhythm, delivering the series' characteristic musical feel.

The Rhythm Heaven series debuted in 2006 on the Game Boy Advance with the original 'Rhythm Heaven.' Despite being an omnibus title consisting of simple mini-games, it received critical acclaim for its rhythm-based gameplay and high level of immersion. The 2008 follow-up, 'Rhythm Heaven DS,' was particularly well-regarded for its refined quality. That title was also the first in the series to be localized into Korean, where it was released under the title 'Rhythm World.'

Meanwhile, unlike previous entries released in Korea under the title 'Rhythm World,' this new title will be officially released under the name 'Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars,' consistent with its international branding. The game is now available for pre-order via the Nintendo eShop and is confirmed to support the Korean language.
