We’re just one week away from the end of seven years.
Seven years ago, UNBEATABLE was barely an idea a couple of people talked about on the internet together. That became a game thanks to the work of a 30-odd group of programmers, musicians, sound designers, game designers, animators, 3D artists, concept artists, and producers holding it all together, and it comes out in 7 days. We've got a lot to share today as we start to prepare for that moment, so let's get right to it.
HOW MUCH DOES UNBEATABLE COST?
okay so please be patient and don’t just scroll to the bottom to find out because there’s a lot more here than that
A GENTLE REMINDER FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON
UNBEATABLE is a NARRATIVE RHYTHM ADVENTURE GAME with a full 6–8 hour campaign, with a beginning, middle, and end. You might like it!
Of course, UNBEATABLE is also a RHYTHM ARCADE GAME with endless replayability and an original base game tracklist consisting of over 60 playable songs exclusively made for the game all at launch.
But if that’s not enough for you…
You're GREEDY.
And you'll want to check out our newly revealed VARIETY FOLDER!
At launch, you'll be able to play 12 songs from other artists and games, in addition to the in-house soundtrack you were already getting:
Introducing three whole new collaborations with RIFT OF THE NECRODANCER, Spin Rhythm XD, and ROTAENO, and updated collaborations with both NOISZ STARLIVHT and NO STARIGHT ROADS. In addition, our musician Clara graciously provided us a single to include as a part of the base tracklist! Check out the specifics below:
[NEW!] RIFT OF THE NECRODANCER COLLAB featuring both Disco Disaster and Om and On as playable tracks, as well as an unlockable menu palette inspired by the game,
[NEW!] SPIN RHYTHM COLLAB, featuring both Twist Sound and Beyond the Heart (Broken Heart Mix) as playable tracks, as well as an unlockable menu palette inspired by the game,
[NEW!] ROTAENO COLLAB, featuring both Cosmic Starter and K.Moe (VIP), as well as three unlockable menu palettes inspired by characters from Rotaeno,
[NEW!] <3 from postergirlxoxo (one of our musicians, Clara)
[UPDATED] NOISZ STARLIVHT Collab, featuring both the original short cuts of True / Done In Love as well as new full versions of the songs as playable tracks, as well as an unlockable menu palette inspired by Hakuno,
[UPDATED] Low (featured in NO STRAIGHT ROADS) now includes a brand new STAR chart designed by both Cheryl Stelli and CHI XU. A menu palette inspired by Bunkbed Junction is also available as an unlock!
Together, the final base track list included in-game is 76 playable songs, and that will only increase after launch with both new collaborations and original songs in addition to paid DLC.
WAIT WHAT ABOUT THAT PAID DLC
Announcing the one more thing:
well, we're gonna do post-launch updates with songs so hold your horses, but there's also one more thing:
The UNBEATABLE Breakout Edition, available on PC at launch, with console versions coming later.
The Breakout Edition includes:
The base game! Imagine if it didn’t
FOUR brand new exclusive songs created in collaboration with Jamie Paige, Lena Raine, MEMODEMO, and past remixers DOG_NOISE, SoundCirclet, and Lumena-Tan
A bunch of extra back catalogue songs from UNBEATABLE director rj lake including tracks from I AM YOUR BEAST
That’s not even all the songs
20+ additional arcade mode titles
1 exclusive menu palette
I know how you feel about day-one DLC, Gamers. I Understand. But we want to be explicitly clear about what’s going on here. This isn’t “we cut stuff out of the game and told you to pay for it as if it was an extra.” These new songs do not exist without the DLC budget funding its creation, and we jumped at the opportunity to put this together once we realized we could do that.
Future DLCs will be looking to go even further than just song adds (expect extra characters, stages, and challenges!) but to do that we need to not be all-hands-on-deck on the actual game itself, which…we are…because it comes out in a week

Before you go, here are some comments we'd like to share from the artists featured in Breakout Edition:
PRICING
Now great! Say no more, you might say. Well, except about the game's price. We know you've been asking this for ages, so here's the answer:
UNBEATABLE Base Game --- 10% off at launch
USD 27.99 / EUR 27.77 / GBP 24.99
UNBEATABLE Breakout Edition Bundle --- 10% off
USD 37.98 / EUR 34.99 / GBP 33.98
There will also be bundles available at launch - for those who already own Rift of the Necrodancer, you'll receive a discount for buying our game! (And vice versa. Or maybe if you have neither, buy both together!)
OKAY, but when when is the game releasing?
Glad you asked. Here's the launch times for the game:
UNBEATABLE Base Game:

UNBEATABLE Breakout Edition:
Steam: Nov 6, 10am PT / 1 PM ET / 6pm GMT
LOCALIZATION UPDATE
IMPORTANT for Chinese players: our Simplified Chinese localization will arrive post-launch. We want to ensure the quality is up to the standards people expect, and as a result made the difficult decision to push it back and not rush it into the day 1 release. UNBEATABLE will launch in English only, with additional languages coming in future updates.
We know the demand for this game in other languages is high! We PLAN ON DOING THOSE. Everything is contingent on the game selling more than two copies, though
Okay, that was everything. (for now)
Thanks for being you. We'll see you soon.
