This was why VR was made!

Sega has announced that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, the next game in the franchise based on the virtual pop star and her team of idols, will launch on August 30 for the PS4 and PS Vita.

Shedding the “HD” branding for the console version, Project DIVA X will also be the first game in the series to have a story mode. As if Miku needed more than her charm to hook her fans around the world, her and her friends will have to sing and dance through five Clouds that pose a danger to their world for some reason. Each Clould has its own aura, from Classic to Cute, Cool, Elegant and Quirky, all of which containing their own challenges. With a combination of 30 new and classic songs to go with close to 300 costumes, each one is said to have an effect on the different challenges. From what we know so far, no one should accuse this game of not having enough to do.

New to Project DIVA X will be a Concert Editor mode, where players can customize their own shows with their favorite Vocaloids. If you needed a reason to finally push you towards investing in PlayStation VR, then you might want to set that money you were planning on using on the latest anime figure aside, since Concert Editor will support the virtual reality platform once it becomes an available via an update! It will be like you can finally reach out and touch your favorite pop star minus the restraining order and jail time.

Lastly, everyone who pre-orders the game or buys it at launch will get a Miku pouch for free! Use it for glasses, your favorite gaming handheld, or your favorite Nendoroid figurines! Retailing at $49.99 for the PS4 and $39.99 for PS Vita, an already discounted price is coming with even more goodies!
