(Updated, 9/18/2014!) Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX Coming to Japan as Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe

At the end of last year, Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai 2 for the 3DS was released in Japan. We had not heard anything about localization of this game until a couple of months ago when Sega announced that the game would be localized for the West in 2015, with the working title Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Remix. Remix is going to add new features and content not available in Mirai 2, though they are to be specified in the future. Hatsune Miku fansite mikufan does mention that it is confirmed the game will feature new 3D promotional and opening videos composed by PinocchioP.

This week’s Famitsu announced that Remix’s updates will be released in Japan as Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe. Remix and Deluxe will be the same game released in different territories. Deluxe will also be featured at Tokyo Game Show 2014. A Spring 2015 release is planned for the game.

It is remarkable that apparently the expanded remake of Project Mirai 2, which already released in Japan, was so demanded in Japan that the country is receiving the requested re-release. Perhaps it’s a display of the commercial strength of the franchise, which recently crossed 2.5 million units in sales according to Sega.

Update: A new Sega blog entry has confirmed that the previous working title of Project Mirai Remix is now officially changed to Project Mirai DX for the West. Be sure to check out the blog entry for new screenshots of the game!

Update 2: An edit to this mikufan blog entry strongly suggests that there is no second Hatsune Miku game from Sega to announce, and that Deluxe was the new title to be introduced at TGS. We appreciate their help with this matter, and apologize for any possible misinformation on our end!
