Following on from an announcement earlier this month, Brace Yourself Games - the developer behind Cadence of Hyrule - has now officially given fans a first look at its brand new rhythm game known as Rift of the Necrodancer.
This is apparently a spinoff - with players required to help Cadence navigate the modern world while repairing the rifts that have torn her life apart. According to the description, you'll do rhythmic battles via rift mode, minigames and boss battles.
The soundtrack will be provided by Danny Baranowsky (Crypt of the NecroDancer, Cadence of Hyrule) and friends.
This reveal follows an update to Crypt of the NecroDancer in the first half of August - which added a new content pack called Synchrony, featuring new characters, a co-op mode and much more.
At the moment, only the Steam version has been confirmed and there's no release date. If we hear any updates regarding a Switch release, we'll let you know.

Rock Band 5 is looking great!
I was not prepared for a Rhythm Heaven style of game, but I love it! I'll definitely have to pick this up eventually.
I loved Necrodancer and picked up Cadence of Hyrule though I’ve barely tried it. I know I could get into this spin-off Rift game, if time permits.
The trailer reminded me how great Cadence’s voice actress is!
I'm hope there will be character like Bard from CotND. Or Bard himself.
Guitar hero mixed Rhythm haven? Yep, I’m sold.
Whoa, that's very different. Definitely does not deter me, I'll buy this
It is very different. I loved cadance of hyrule. Never tried crypt of the necrodancer...but I have it in backlog.
I'd give this new game a fair shake for sure though.
Day one if/when it comes to Switch.
While I'm generally not very good at rhythm games, I adore this art style, and I do like the Crypt soundtrack, so I'll probably pick it up, if only for those.
Not quite what I was expecting, but I'll give it a go.
I've been waiting for a new Rhythm Heaven for so long...
The small part of the trailer that looked like Rhythm Heaven was really interesting, but since it was just a small part, I wonder how much of that kind of stuff there will actually be in the game.
@Snatcher There's a rhythm-based Punch-Out!! in there too if you look closely.
@meleehunter S-O-L-D!
Looks really great!
