Heroic Songs: The Remix Set for Nintendo Switch Launch in Japan with English Support
Frontier Works has officially announced the upcoming release of Heroic Songs: The Remix for Nintendo Switch, scheduled to launch in Japan on September 18, 2025.
Notably, the title will include English language support at debut, broadening its accessibility for global fans and marking a significant addition to the eShop’s growing library of simulation and rhythm games.
A Unique Blend: City-Building Meets Idol Simulation
Heroic Songs: The Remix merges engaging city-building mechanics with in-depth idol simulation, a rare combination that stands out in the crowded Nintendo Switch marketplace.
Players are tasked with developing an 'Idol Fanctuary'—a sanctuary for rising idols set beneath the mystical World Tree.
Starting from an empty field, gamers will construct roads, build various facilities, and unlock stages where idols showcase their talents to growing crowds of fans.
The gameplay is designed to foster community and creativity, with progression tied closely to both resource management and successful idol performances.
As the Fanctuary flourishes, players attract more fans, accumulate 'Likes,' and unlock an expanding repertoire of concerts.
Rhythm-based mini-games represent a key component of the experience, seamlessly integrating with the narrative and city-building phases.
Immersive Storytelling and Character Development
The narrative of Heroic Songs: The Remix unfolds as players propel their idols through concerts, city development, and unique character-driven chapters.
The story follows Akari Sunohara, an ordinary girl thrust into extraordinary circumstances when she awakens in a fantasy realm called the Void after attending a concert by the legendary idol Ruri Tsukuyomi.
Rescued by Akari and guided by the flower spirit Moku-san, the protagonist learns that returning home depends on Akari discovering her true potential as an idol.
Idols are more than just performers in this world—they are symbols of hope and crucial to reconnecting fractured realms.
Throughout the adventure, players support Akari alongside a vibrant cast, including the iconic Ruri Tsukuyomi; Lynalelle Singulant, the kingly idol of Seven Falls; Haru, the trusted yet mysterious mentor from Discordia; and Kagura, the formidable rival from Karan Ashihara.
Each heroine features dedicated story arcs exploring their individual backgrounds, strengths, and challenges.
Official Statements and Publisher’s Vision
Frontier Works emphasized that Heroic Songs: The Remix is designed to appeal to both idol game fans and city-building enthusiasts.
In a recent press announcement, company representatives said, “Our goal is to deliver a game that not only captures the thrill of idol performances but also empowers players to build and lead a thriving community in a world brimming with fantasy.”
Release Details and Platform Highlights
Heroic Songs: The Remix will be available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch via the Japanese eShop on September 18, 2025, with full English language support confirmed, lowering the barrier for international fans to experience the game at launch.
This announcement reiterates Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to introducing diverse, cross-genre titles to the Nintendo Switch ecosystem.
With its innovative blend of simulation, rhythm action, and narrative depth, Heroic Songs: The Remix is positioned to capture the attention of players looking for a fresh take on idol and city-building gameplay.
