Smilegate's RPG Miresi Unveils New Soundtrack

• Miresi: Invisible Future is poised for a major showcase at the Tokyo Game Show.
• A new tie-in music video featuring popular VTuber La+ Darkness has been released in conjunction.
• The VTuber will also make a guest appearance during the upcoming TGS event.

Promoting a brand-new game is more challenging than ever in a crowded market. Yet, some developers and publishers manage to pull off a last-minute masterstroke. Smilegate has done exactly that for Miresi: Invisible Future, launching a brand-new collaborative music video for this upcoming collectible RPG.

To be clear, this isn't a critique of Smilegate's previous marketing efforts for Miresi. They've done a solid job. However, leading up to their prominent Tokyo Game Show presentation this Tuesday, the game needed something special to stand out. This is especially true with major competitors like Goddess of Victory: Nikke running high-profile collaborations and in-game events.

Smilegate's clever solution was to release a new music video starring Hololive VTuber La+ Darkness. The video is now available on both Smilegate's and La+ Darkness's official YouTube channels. It has also been confirmed that the VTuber will appear live on stage during the TGS broadcast on September 28th.

Dark and Light

While this move may not resonate with audiences unfamiliar with La+ Darkness, it has undoubtedly generated fresh buzz for Miresi. The true test, however, will be its reception at the Tokyo Game Show, which will indicate whether this collectible RPG has the potential for lasting appeal.

This partnership reminds us that crossover appeal can come from unexpected places. VTubers are not typically used to promote major game releases, but Miresi's anime-inspired art style creates a natural and effective connection.
