Equipped with new user interfaces and rhythms, PM Studios has crafted an even more innovative and interactive music game experience—Superbeat: Xonic will rock players’ worlds! Players will be able to experience over 45 music tracks and boogie through 200 different play patterns!

“I’m extremely excited to work with my former colleagues and bring what I feel is our spiritual successor to DJMax. We’ve been listening to the fans and decided that the Vita was the best platform for our players,” said Michael Yum, CEO of PM Studios. “I’m also very honored to work with the talented folks at both Nurijoy and Acttil on this new endeavor. With the former DJMax developers at both PM Studios and Nurijoy developing what they’re best at and by allowing Acttil to help us bring this game to the market, I feel we can give the players something they can really enjoy.”
