Konami Amusement announced that it will release Dance Dance Revolution World, a brand-new entry to the arcade dancing rhythm game series, though the company has yet to reveal the new entry’s launch window and new features. However, it did reveal Emi and Rage as the cover characters in World‘s new visual.
Konami will gradually replace the existing Dance Dance Revolution A3 cabinets with World once it has released the new version. The subtitle will also mark a new departure from the Dance Dance Revolution A subseries, which began in 2016. Konami subsequently released Dance Dance Revolution A20 in 2019, A20 Plus in 2020, and A3 in 2022. Dance Dance Revolution A3 was also noted for its addition of “Megalovania” from Toby Fox’s Undertale.
The Dance Dance Revolution series has seen a recent upsurge in activity ever since Konami celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023. The company is also working with Zuiki to produce Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini. Initially available to crowdfunding backers, the companies will release the miniature emulator console to the public in late September 2024.
Dance Dance Revolution World will be available for arcades. Konami has yet to provide a launch window for the new entry as of this announcement.
