Arcaea will launch on Nintendo Switch later May

lowiro‘s Arcaea will soon be available digitally for Nintendo Switch, with a price tag of $39.99 or your regional equivalent. Arcaea on Switch will include a brand new song pack, Divided Heart, with five new songs, alongside a new storyline as well as a new partner, Shirahime. The wording suggests this content may be later made available for the mobile game.

The overview for the Switch version is given as follows:

Touch, hold, slide—and, for the first time ever, use the Joy-Con™ controllers to glide through the world of Arcaea. Feel the rhythm in a vast collection of songs now fully available on Nintendo Switch™, and follow the fateful story of the girls lost in its world.

Each awakens without any memories in a barren, pale world of ruined buildings and dry oceans. Only the drifting, glass shard-like memories offer any sense of life in this world… but where will the memories lead them?

* A brand-new song pack, Divided Heart, containing five songs, the new Partner Shirahime, and a new storyline
* Three difficulties for every song, ranging from easier songs for those experiencing rhythm games for the first time all the way to extreme challenges that will make even the most hardcore rhythm game fans sweat
* A completely revamped progression system for unlocking new songs, characters, and stories—all playable offline
