Today, SEGA is proud to announce that Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F is headed West! The game will arrive this August on both PlayStation 3 and Playstation Network in North America!

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F is a rhythm game featuring 38 unique songs, including popular tracks like Tell Your World and Black★Rock Shooter. Players can create and share their own Miku videos in “Edit Mode”, and can customize the popular diva with over 90 different costumes and accessories. Being the first console game released for the franchise in the West, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F will include all of the updated graphics, additional songs, and features of the Japanese version.

Hatsune Miku is the world’s most popular digital singer, produced by Crypton Future Media, INC.　Her popularity continues to increase in the West and she has over 950,000 dedicated English speaking fans on Facebook. In 2011, she packed the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles for her first ever Western concert, and tickets sold out almost instantly. To gauge interest for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F in the west, SEGA asked fans to like and share an image of Miku to pledge their support, and the response was astounding. In less than three days, the post received over 25,000 likes and 15,000 shares.
In short, it was your voices, as fans, that helped make this happen.

We’re thrilled to bring this title out for you, and we’re counting on your support. Tell Your World!

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F is slated for release on PlayStation 3 and via digital download on PlayStation Network in August 2013. If you’re excited to get your hands the game, you won’t have to wait too long – the demo will be available this Tuesday, June 11th!

[Kagari]

Retail eh... unexpected.

 

[Volcynika]

Niro, can you put Retail and Digital in the thread title? Didn't notice that and I'm sure it will be asked.

Edit: And demo Tuesday!

 

[ActStriker]

This is unexpected.

 

[Ravage]

Holy shit o.0

 

[RyoonZ]

Yakuza 5 next...

 

[CronoShot]

Huh.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is a kind of megaton (in a Japanese game coming over to the US kind of way lol) for this type of game to come over. Better support it.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Gee thanks Sega. Its crazy they localize this but Yakuza 5

 

[Luigi87]

It's... Finally happening!

[NeoGeoOwner]

sugooooooooooooooooooi ^^

 

[LiK]

I'll check it out and see what the fuss is about

 

[zroid]

i can't even

Sega makes absolutely no sense to me sometimes. well... i'm not complaining.

 

[Canis lupus]

YEESS

 

[Defuser]

*Demos Hatsune Miku on Vita*

*Releases Hatsune Miku PS3*

Wtf Sega.

 

[Pooya]

I've been waiting for this, it's actually no surprise, there has been big hints of localization already. so I don't see why all the shock faces here...

 

[GeoramA]

Yakuza 5 next...

 

[Tizoc]

Yakuza 5 next...

Hakura has an alt. outfit where you have her dressed as Miku, this might be related...

 

[TheShampion]

Well, I am glad I waited on the JP release.

I wonder if the trophies will share the JP Vita version like the JP PS3 does. Probably not, but it would be interesting if the US version interfaced with the JP Vita game somehow.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Demo this Tuesday? AW FUCK YES

 

[chickdigger802]

Day 1... for demo. psp games were fun, but miku dancing around always distracted me from playing the game well


have they ever updated miku software so that she can sing english songs worth a damn yet?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Finally.

 

[Jawmuncher]

BOOM

Ill be buying at retail to support more Miku in the west.

 

[Guymelef]

And no Vita love... please bring PSVITA version digital only.

 

[Durante]

Pre-E3 megaton!

I'm buying it.

 

[ramoisdead]

Good news.

I wonder if Sega will have Domino's in the US assist on promoting the title.

 

[TheRealTalker]

You'd think they would also bring the vita one even if it's only digital :/

 

[Andrefpvs]

Oh man, I'll finally be able to try a Miku game

 

[Curufinwe]

I wish WAHP would come back to give this news the hour long discussion it requires.

 

[Kikujiro]

I'm here only to say that if this is coming to the US there's no way Yakuza 5 isn't coming.

 

[Cornbread78]

On PS3.... Wow, straight install base chase there....

 

[sqwarlock]

Demo? Well I guess that means it's time to finally figure out what all the hubbub is about concerning this series.

 

[michaelius]

Not interested in PS3 version. That's not something i want to play at home.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Well, I know what I'm picking up in August then!
They were gauging interest for Project Diva F at last year's E3. Glad its coming over and in retail too.

 

[Father_Brain]

Retail release? Huh. Guess this must have been one of those surprise localizations SpaceDrake was teasing around GDC.

 

[Dead Prince]

Not interested in PS3 version. That's not something i want to play at home.

but you are willing to play out in public?

 

[darkressurection]

Holy shit, it's finally happening. Easy day one purchase.

 

[DeVeAn]

Gee thanks Sega. Its crazy they localize this but Yakuza 5

I feel dead inside too...

 

[Tizoc]

I feel dead inside too...

Yakuza 5 will be announced as a PS3+PS4 YOPO kinda title during E3.

 

[Negator]

Wow. I did not expect this!

Will give the demo a whirl on Tuesday.

 

[Dremark]

I've been waiting for this, it's actually no surprise, there has been big hints of localization already. so I don't see why all the shock faces here...

I don't think anyone expected a physical release.

 

[ULTROS!]

No Vita version? :/

 

[Canis lupus]

I'll check it out and see what the fuss is about

World's End Dance Hall

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

On PS3.... Wow, straight install base chase there....
