Namco Taiko Blog (August 31st, 2022) - The Last Arcade-Heated Grounds for Summer '22



Before Autumn falls upon us once again, there's going to be a new Nijiiro Version software update on September 7th, one that is bound to bring a few licensed picks from the get-go and to prepare the terrain for that one Ranking Dojo-shaped venue that is about to become complete once more...

Both returning and debuting artists and TV shows from Japan are featured in this upcoming update batch, including one song that has been used for the Anime series of HiatusxHiatus mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi's ongoing shonen story. No fuzzy journalism to be found here!

Road to Y2 Ranking Dojo Finale: Upcoming Weekend Warriors and Release
The final four trials are approaching fast, with the current release date set for September 19th!

Before that, however, we got a reminder of the soon-to-be-Urafied songs debuting as Weekend Warriors and their release scheduled, now confirming the coming of D-D-Dice's Soshite Yuusha wa Nemurinitsuku (そして勇者は眠りにつく) for this coming Saturday (Sept. 3rd), while USAO's SUPERNOVA is making its debut the week after (Sept. 10th). We also got the usual partial trial reveal to boot!

Autumn 2022's Don Rewards Shop Lineup Refresh



Also on September 19th dawns the much-anticipated Rewards Shop update for the seasonal change, this time around bringing up three of the songs that weresubmitted by donders to be revived through the past Original Revival poll back in April-May (link). As No.11/Kimizu reminds the reading base how seasonal Don Rewards Shop updates usually come with four songs every time and how the final-step Ranking Dojo trial often featured the newcoming demon as one of the purchasable songs in the same lineup update, I sure wonder if we're going to get an unadvertised 4th song alongside these...
