After some teasing and much hype, SEGA of America has finally announced the Western release for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X for the PlayStation Vita, and even the upcoming PlayStation 4 version! Both versions are due for their Western release in Fall 2016, likely around the time of Japan’s Diva X launch for PS4. The game’s story mode screen appears to have had its name changed to “Cloud Screen” for its Western release (“Live Quest” in the Japanese version), so keep this change in mind when reading the summary below.

According to the English summary, the game’s narrative centers on Miku and her friends undertaking various requests as they explore the five Clouds that make up their world. For the Miku veterans, Project DIVA X has 30 songs and 300 modules (costumes) that get dropped. Available exclusively on the PS4 and PS Vita, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X will release in physical and digital formats this Fall. The official Project DIVA X website is now live at http://miku.sega.com/divax.

In Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, the world is comprised of five unique Clouds, each with its own aura – Classic, Cool, Cute, Elegant, and Quirky. As Miku and her friends progress, the auras of the songs they perform and even the modules they choose will have a profound effect on fulfilling challenge conditions for players to test themselves with. There’s also the newly added Concert Editor, which lets players create their own mini-concerts from the songs, modules and accessories they collect. As players take on Requests and explore Clouds with Miku and her friends, they begin to forge relationships, and ultimately, will reveal the secret of the eponymous “X.”

The game will be available in the Americas in Fall 2016 for the PS4 and PS Vita in both physical and digital formats. News of a European release is still pending. Check out the official trailer and photo gallery below! Screenshots are from the PS Vita version.

SEGA’s Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X seems to have received a warm welcome for its launch in Japan, and managed to sell about 70,000 copies in its 4 day run last week after launching on March 24th. This is sadly far below the 154,000 that Project Diva f managed to sell in its first week. However, it was enough to secure the #1 spot in PlayStation Vita game sales last week for Japan, as well as #3 best-selling game overall for the same week. It was behind only Dark Souls III for PS4 (218,764 copies) and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 for 3DS (375,612 copies). These are the sales estimates for the week of March 21st ~ 27th.

The game may be getting a Western release, if yesterday’s tweet by SEGA is anything to go by. The PS4 version is scheduled to launch in Japan sometime in Fall 2016, likely around the same time Sony’s PlayStation VR is scheduled to launch.

It’s been less than a week since Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X has launched for the PlayStation Vita in Japan, and many fans in other countries have been asking “When will we get a localized version”? The answer to this question may be “Soon”, if this tweet posted earlier today by SEGA is anything to go by:

The above image is both weirdly random, and too specific and coincidental with timing. SEGA is all-too-familiar with the Cryptonloids and their favorite food items. The Negi (spring onions) stands for Hatsune Miku, the Orange and Bananas are for Kagamine Rin and Len, the Ice Cream is for Kaito, the Sake is for Meiko, and the Tuna is for Megurine Luka.

Think we’re crazy? We’ll find out soon enough!

It’s just one more day until Hatsune Miku Project Diva X launches in Japan (March 24th, JST), so it’s now or never to choose if you want to preorder to receive the extra bonuses! On top of the Aime game card featuring artwork by KEI, preorders will also include a DLC code for the AIR DO collaboration module “CA Style A”, which gives Miku a flight stewardess outfit (which is gorgeous!). The code is good for 39 days after the game release. A version with twintails called “CA Style 39” will be a famitsu-exclusive benefit via a DLC code included in the April 7th edition magazine (releasing March 24th). The code is also included with the digital magazine!

A Snow Miku 2016 module will also be available be available as DLC on day 1 (as much as we hate to say it) for 300 Yen. She’s not the only one, however, as Mikudayo is also being tossed in as a module for good measure, at a cost of 500 Yen. You can also get Akita Neru, Yowane Haku, Sakine Meiko and Kasane Teto with 3 different modules for each in a sizeable character DLC pack for just 600 Yen.

Use it to get in some practice, since the game is arriving soon! You have one more day to preorder Project Diva X on CDJapan to get an additional microfiber cloth with art by LamazeP as a free extra.

CM ending scene

SEGA announced a new 30 second TV commercial today for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X, and along with it, brought a few extra treats. The first treat is that Fujita Saki herself, the voice provider for Hatsune Miku’s Vocaloid software, provided the voice-over for the commercial! As a professional voice actress, she gets around doing commercial and anime voice acting all the time. Although voicing for a commercial featuring Miku is extra special. Check it out below!

The commercial again shows an interesting scene at the end of the video (pictured above), where we see TWO Mikus on-screen: Hatsune Miku in her original outfit, and another in the “Ultimate Miku” outfit. The latter appears to be hovering, and transparent. We’re unsure if this is something from the game’s opening sequence, or from actual gameplay. Either way, we’re curious what would be going on gameplay story-wise to justify two Miku’s on-screen at the same time (but having two is certainly better than one!).

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X launches for the PlayStation Vita in Japan in just 10 more days! You can grab it on CDJapan with a cool bonus microfiber towel featuring art by LamazeP! The PS4 version launch is due sometime in Fall 2016.
