Sega Announces Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI Remix for the West

Today Sega announced Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix (working title) for 3DS during a Hatsune Miku chat show broadcasted on Niconico. As announced on Sega West’s blog, Project Mirai Remix will be an enhanced version of Project Mirai 2 (which was only released in Japan). The release of the game also marks the 5th anniversary of the Sega featuring Hatsune Miku Project. The game is scheduled to be released in Asia, North America and Europe in 2015. It will feature two rhythm modes (Touch and Button), StreetPass function and an Augmented Reality (AR) feature.

Following the news of the 5th Anniversary, an update on the official blog of Sega’s Hatsune Miku games revealed that 2.5 million copies of the series have been shipped in Japan alone. Since 5 years, Hatsune Miku has starred in numerous Sega published titles ranging from the original PSP titles to Mirai on Nintendo 3DS. While these numbers don’t include the localized Project Diva F, we already know Sega was pleased with the sales of the game, as evidenced by the fact that they will be releasing Project Diva F 2nd on the PS3 and PS Vita later this year.
