Also launching this week is Rift of the NecroDancer, a vibrant new chapter in the beloved rhythm-action franchise from Brace Yourself Games.
Protagonist Cadence returns, compelled into a surreal world where monsters must be defeated in sync with energetic electronic music tracks.
Each beat marks a battle, featuring original compositions by Danny Baranowsky and collaborators.
New to this installment are global online leaderboards, inventive mini-games, and the Celeste Music Pack paid DLC, which adds even more musical content.
