Bullet hell rhythm game Everhood is getting new content exclusive to console editions.

Here’s a rundown on the new release, plus a trailer:

Expect the unexpected! Developed by Foreign Gnomes, Everhood Eternity Edition is a musical action RPG adventure released by BlitWorks Games, an indie publisher with a strong technical background, they wanted not only to port the content that is already available on other platforms but also enhance it with 16 new battles made by the best level designers from the Everhood community, and featuring music from the following 11 renowned composers.

The new tracks will be unlocked as the player progresses through the game’s main story, and will represent a real challenge for the most skilled ones:

• Chipzel (original track, she worked on titles like Super Hexagon, Dicey Dungeons and Cadence of Hyrule).
• David Wise (original track, he worked with Tradewest / Rareware / Rare for many years on titles like Battletoads, the Donkey Kong Country series and more recently with Ratchet and Clank).
• Manami Matsumae (2 original tracks, she worked on Mega Man, Final Fight, Batman: Return of the Joker, Shovel Knight, and more)
• Keiji Yamagishi (original track, he worked on Ninja Gaiden, and more recently on The Messenger and Streets of Rage 4).
• Disasterpeace (original track, he worked on FEZ, Super Meat Boy, Hyper Light Drifter, Reigns, and more).
• YMCK (2 original tracks, they worked on Taiko no Tatsujin for Wii, PiCTOBiTS for DSiWare and more).
• Gonzalo Varela (with Destiny from Fight’n Rage).
• Stefan Moser (with Forgotten Strategy from Slipstream).
• AceMan (with 2-2N Unreachable from Rhythm Doctor).
• Evan “Noteblock” Goertzen (with A Dark Tale of Terror from Mago)
• All-Seeing (with Stress, UFO Remaster and Vs Pixel)

The developers of this port have given their reasoning from the exclusive content, stating the following:

[…] because the PlayStation and Xbox versions lack an aspect that the PC version did have, that were the Custom Battles, in which you can play more than 150 levels and create your own. To make up for that, we decided to add these new 16 levels to Everhood: Eternity Edition. […]
