In celebration of Hatsune Miku’s 8th anniversary today (it’s now August 31st in Japan), SEGA has announced the newest Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA title in the series: “Project DIVA X”, which is the 10th Project DIVA game release to date. While little is known regarding the new project, several interesting points have recently been revealed.

The game will be available on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita platforms, with releases set for Fall 2016 for PlayStation 4 and March 2016 for PS Vita. For Magical Mirai 2015 participants, a Project Diva X game demo will be available at SEGA’s booth during the event from September 4th~6th.

The game’s theme song will be composed by Ryo, and we already have at least one game song confirmed: Raspberry*Monster by HoneyWorks (with the module designed by Aki Akane). A new gameplay mode called “Live Quest Mode”, which promises a new exciting way of playing the rhythm game.

In addition, a teaser screenshot has been released by SEGA via their Hatsune Miku Project blog. Below is a trailer released by SEGA, revealing some of the music producers and illustrators for the next game title:
