Hatsune Miku: The Planet of Wonder and Fragments of Wishes is now available for Xbox One and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store for $27.99, developer Crypton Future Media announced.
Hatsune Miku’s Crypt of the NecroDancer crossover is a perfect fit

Vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku’s next video game crossover was announced and released today, and it’s the perfect kind of collaboration for the character. If you buy a new $2 DLC, you can now play as Crypton Future’s popular virtual singer in the PC and PS4 versions ofCrypt of the NecroDancer.
Crypt of the NecroDancer is a roguelike dungeon crawler that moves to the beat of the music. You can see why Hatsune Miku would be such a good fit for a game like this. The digital idol has a long history in the gaming space, both through her own series of rhythm games and guest appearances in titles like Persona 4: Dancing All Night, Just Dance, Ninjala, and Fall Guys. Likewise, Brace Yourself Games and Crypt of the NecroDancer are no strangers to crossovers; Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda was a full-fledged spin-off using music from Nintendo’s series that came out in 2019.
Although Hatsune Miku didn’t get the dedicated spin-off treatment, this DLC remixes Crypt of the NecroDancer in such a way that the game felt as good as new when we went hands-on with it prior to this announcement. Miku takes damage if players don’t move on the beat and can’t dig through walls with a shovel. Those shortcomings are made up for by the character’s ability to move in all eight directions and destroy walls by moving into them through an enemy.
This character also has an exclusive Sing ability, which charms nearby enemies when used; charmed enemies will heal Miku instead of damaging her if they land a hit. Consecutive hit combos are required to recharge this ability, so Miku is definitely a Crypt of the NecroDancer character that requires a lot of focus to use properly. Thankfully, 15 new songs are part of this DLC and play when Hatsune Miku is chosen. Brace Yourself Games provided the following outline of which stages these songs are bound to and which artists created them.
- 1-1: Too Real — Danny Baranowsky
- 1-2: Wonder Style — colate
- 1-3: SURVIVE (Foxsky Remix) — Umetora
- 2-1: Ten Thousand Stars — Circus-P
- 2-2: Lucky Orb (Clean Tears Remix) — emon(Tes.)
- 2-3:UNDERWATER (Rexium Remix) — Hylen
- 3-1: Highlight — KIRA
- 3-2: Intergalactic Bound — CircusP and Yunosuke
- 3-3: Hello Builder — Utsu-P
- 4-1: MikuFiesta — AlexTrip Sands
- 4-2:Can’t Make A Song!! — beat_shobon
- 4-3: Be Furious (Reno Remix) — Ocelot
- 5-1: sweety glitch — gaburyu & nyankobrq
- 5-2: Thousand Little Voices — Vault Kid & FlangerMoose
- 5-3: My One and Oni — Danny Baranowsky
Hatsune Miku’s character DLC for Crypt of the NecroDancer is available on PC and PS4 now and will come to Nintendo Switch on April 13. Brace Yourself Games tells Digital Trends that it hasn’t started planning for an Xbox port of the DLC yet. At least Xbox players have

After Amazon’s Fallout, these games deserve TV adaptations next
Something about postapocalyptic video games makes them perfect for adaptations. Fallout, The Last of Us, and Twisted Metal all have that kind of setting and have been some of the most well-liked video game adaptations ever. Maybe it’s because the apocalypse provides such a rich sandbox to play in, or maybe it’s because that kind of setting forces characters to make difficult choices, but it’s the kind of setting that makes for both good gaming and TV.

The Ultimate Crossover: Sand Land Snags Sandstorm by Darude in Its New Story Trailer | Push Square
In what is a frankly unbelievable move, Bandai Namco has managed to secure iconic — and heavily memed — 2000 trance track 'Sandstorm' for its new Sand Land trailer. Honestly, it fits quite well, but we're still in disbelief that the marketing team actually went and got this done. We can only assume that Darude, the original DJ behind Sandstorm, is a massive, diehard fan of the manga and anime property. A dream come true, we're sure.
