A news post to the Sony of Japan website announces the production of a Playstation 4 hardware package – the Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- Special Pack. It’s inspired by the soon-to-be-released titles Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD and Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone.

It’s being sold in two hard drive capacities (500 GB and 1 TB), with Jet Black being available in both sizes and Glacier White being an option for the 500 GB version. The general package is basically the same as what we’ve seen for other SEGA-related PS4 promotions, but the noticeable differences are the inclusion of two Project DIVA themes for the PS4 and three different bay cover.

There are three different bay covers – one that is Project DIVA X HD-themed, one that is Project DIVA Future Tone-themed, and one that is themed on the SEGA’s continued collaboration with Hatsune Miku (SEGA ft.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD Announced for Playstation 4

Sega took to the official Japanese Project DIVA blog to announce Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD, the Playstation 4 version of Project DIVA X for Japan. The game is due for release on August 25th. Notable details from the announcement include compatibility with Playstation VR for the purposes of the game’s Live Edit Mode, and the Snow Miku 2010~2015 Download Campaign which offers Snow Miku modules from 2010 to 2015 for free as downloadable content for a month after the game’s release, but will no longer be free after September 25th. The DLC will be available for both Vita (Project DIVA X) and PS4 (Project DIVA X HD.)

A new piece of artwork by KEI was also published to commemorate the announcement! It is used as our featured image for this article.

Project DIVA X for the Vita released a month ago in Japan. Project DIVA X is planned for release in North America for both Vita and PS4, but there’s no word on support for Europe at the moment. Hopefully that situation may change so as to better accommodate any European fans.

A new promotional trailer for Project DIVA X HD was uploaded to Sega’s YouTube channel for the Project DIVA series. It features the Cool Medley – Cyber Rock Jam. Check it out!

Project DIVA X 9th

Ninth Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X Songs PV

Happy Hatsune Miku Day! March 9th is recognized as “Miku Day” in Japan, since “mi” and “ku” can refer to “3” and “9.” Miku Day is not the same thing as Miku’s birthday in Japan (August 31) but is nevertheless a widely celebrated occasion.

While Miku Day has passed in Japan, many of us in other parts of the world have not had a chance to celebrate. Give thanks to Hatsune Miku today!

Live Quest Mode Gameplay Demo from Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X

Famitsu released a video of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X featuring a new addition to the series – Live Quest mode. My colleague Draikin has written articles on Live Quest mode previously, and now the video can act as a sort of visual synthesis for the detailed coverage he’s provided on this mode.

To summarize: there are five Areas in Live Quest mode, each of which are themed after the five Elements in Project DIVA X. The player is free to cycle between the five Areas at their leisure. Within each Area are Elemental-themed songs that must be cleared, and after clearing a song the player acquires Voltage that “restores” the Area of a particular Element. But any given Area cannot be fully restored without finally completing a Medley featuring songs of a particular Element.

Check out the video below! It lasts for a little more than five minutes and serves as a comprehensive overview of the Live Quest mode experience on the Playstation Vita. If you missed out on Rush Notes before, you can also see it in this video.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X is due for release in Japan on March 24. We still do not have any word on localization outside of Japan.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X’s Challenge: “Ultimate Medley”

A special song was revealed in Famitsu this week for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, and it’s styled as a monumental challenge. Introducing the “Ultimate Medley ~Delusional Suite of Transcendental Finesse~”! If that mountain of syllables for the song title didn’t intimidate you, then perhaps the song list that comprises the medley might be more convincing:

  • “The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku” by cosMo@BousouP
  • “Two-Sided Lovers”by wowaka
  • “Sadistic.Music∞Factory” by cosMo@BousouP
  • “2D Dream Fever” by PolyphonicBranch
  • “The Intense Voice of Hatsune Miku” by cosMo@BousouP

There will be “Ultimate” modules for each of the main six Vocaloids to accompany this song. Be sure to check out this Hachima Kikou post for song previews!
