Brace Yourself Games, the acclaimed indie developer known for titles such as Crypt of the NecroDancer, has announced an exciting new collaboration for their latest rhythm game, Rift Of The NecroDancer.

Revealed through a teaser on the game’s official social media channels, the upcoming DLC will feature members of the massively popular Hololive Vtuber group, bringing fresh content to both Nintendo Switch and PC players. The brief teaser showcases five distinctive silhouettes, instantly familiar to Hololive fans.

These include Houshou Marine and Hoshimachi Suisei from Hololive JP, as well as Irys, Hakoz Baelz, and Gawr Gura from Hololive EN.

The lineup has generated significant buzz, especially with the appearance of Gawr Gura, who announced her graduation from Hololive EN earlier in 2025.

The decision to include Gawr Gura in the Rift Of The NecroDancer DLC highlights the enduring support and enthusiasm for her character among the fanbase, even after stepping back from regular streaming activities. In their official announcement, Brace Yourself Games described the expansion as a "major addition" to Rift Of The NecroDancer.

The studio emphasized their commitment to embracing pop culture and community engagement, saying that the Hololive collaboration was a natural fit for the game’s energetic, music-driven experience. "We are thrilled to bring the world of Hololive to Rift Of The NecroDancer," the developer stated.

"These characters have inspired millions worldwide, and we look forward to seeing players enjoy new content inspired by their unique personalities and music." Available now for Nintendo Switch and PC, Rift Of The NecroDancer has captivated rhythm game enthusiasts since its launch, blending dynamic gameplay with a diverse soundtrack.

Brace Yourself Games’ ongoing support through creative DLCs and crossovers has played a key role in the game’s positive reception, helping maintain a strong presence on platforms such as the Nintendo eShop and Steam. Hololive, operated by Japanese company Cover Corp, remains a major force in the virtual streaming industry, boasting an extensive roster of talents across the globe.

This collaboration marks another milestone for Hololive’s influence in gaming, following successful partnerships in titles like Groove Coaster and Weiss Schwarz. While no specific release date has been provided for the Hololive DLC, the teaser's debut on June 23, 2025, suggests that more details will be available soon.

Fans are encouraged to follow official social media channels and keep an eye on the Nintendo Direct announcements for the latest updates regarding new content and launch timelines.
