Namco Taiko Blog (16 November 2018) - Blue Version Updates: New Songs and the Final Ranking Dojo Trials


Our question from yesterday was promptly answered by today's Namco Taiko Blog, where the latest update to Taiko no Tatsujin Blue ver. has a hard date set for November 21! Not that the date is anything unexpected, when we already have some tragedy slated for that day, and the big reveal is also already teased last month, so...

Blue ver. Ranking Dojo: The Real Deal
Have you gotten too comfortable with Toymatic☆Parade!! on 10-dan? Well get ready for the rest of the trials this update! Further to the trend to balance "display of skill" and "challenge" across the lower Blue ver. trials, the last four trials will each have some new song (eyes above) mixing with existing songs, while tweaking goals and numbers to maintain a similar difficulty to feel.

After all that, here is the partially hidden trial list, with the question-mark blocks going all greyscale so you can't know whether that Oni is Ura or just regular:

Courtesy of Taiko Team's Etou who take the helm for today's Ranking Dojo talk, we also know in advance that each of the four newly-added trials will feature at least one newcoming song in Blue Version, be it from this very update or any other point in the ongoing arcade firmware's history. Last but not least, as we got used to in the last years, the top-performing players in these four fearsome trials will be celebrated with an Hall of Fame movie on Bandai Namco's Youtube channel, some time after Blue Version's Dojo Ranking closure.

Once again, update day is on November 21st. Mark the date!
