Yesterday, the video above your eyes was posted on Bandai Namco's channel, offering a taste of the Kurouto-to-Chojin main trial sets for 2026's Ranking Dojo. We've also got a livestream data reveal via official blog entry, so we're gonna talk about it in the same post!
This time around, the three trial enders for the Kurouto, Meijin and Chojin courses are all remixed renditions of Namco Originals that made their debut (or Ura Oni debut) as Ranking Dojo main course candidates in the past! The remixed tracks are going to be SUPERNOVA, Nosferatu and Operate Me, each also being handled by Ranking Dojo-featured composers from the past years. In the YouTube video on top, a fistful of seconds for each in playtime was also given!
Expectedly, the greater reveal/trials release will be revealed on the upcoming Taiko no Tatsujin livestream broadcast, set to start on September 11th, 7pm JP Time. The customary pre-livestream Questant survey for the arcade-oriented FAQ corner will accept entries until August 18th.
