It's official, folks. After being rated by the ESRB back in April, Aksys Games has today announced that Fitness Boxing feat. HATSUNE MIKU will receive a Western release this Autumn.
The game was originally announced in last year's Japanese September Direct with an English-language release for Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Southeast Asia later confirmed for 12th July 2024.
Today's reveal that the game will be punching its way to Western retailers (it has currently only been ESRB rated, not PEGI yet) means that even more of us can get involved in the boxercise fun alongside the likes of Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka and, of course, Hatsune Miku.
There aren't too many surprises here for those who have been involved in a Fitness Boxing game before. This entry contains the largest number of songs in the series to date and will see you working up a sweat to original tracks by Piapro characters in the new 'Miku Exercise' mode.
You can find a full list of the game's features and get a look at some screenshots below.
- Train alongside your favorite Piapro characters. Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, and Megurine Luka all join in to help you get fit.
- Experience 24 classic Piapro songs and new special songs to work out to.
- Instructors Lin and Evan from the Fitness Boxing series will support you on your journey.
- Jump into the classic Fitness Boxing mode, or try the all new “Miku Exercise” mode, and work out to original songs from your favorite Piapro Characters.
- Enjoy original sporty outfits drawn by Iwato especially for this title for your Piapro training partners.
- Pass a Joy-ConTM controller to an exercise buddy and get fit together with both the classic Fitness Boxing mode and "Miku Exercise.”
We still don't have an official release date for this one just yet, though we will be keeping an eye out over the coming months as we approach the Autumn release window.
Will you be picking this one up later this year? Let us know in the comments.

I'm curious if the original fitness boxing game and these derivatives are all the same game with just different assets. Nothing wrong with that, just curious if they all use the same boxing patterns and levels, etc. Loke the only thing different if just the trainer, music and background art, etc.
Actually pretty keen for this. If it's releasing here later then I might just download it from the Hong Kong eShop.
Peak is arriving!!!!
I think I might just pick up the preorder on play-asia for the physical release since I'm assuming the US won't get one. Excited for this! Much rather look at Miku than dudes while I work out
It's coming on July 12th according to the official site: https://fitboxing.net/hatsunemiku/en/ (@JimNorman if you can add it to the article)...
In the US that is considering it's been rated only by the ESRB, not PEGI at least so far, as can be seen also at the bottom of the site so we still don't know if it's coming also to Europe and if it will get a physical release other than the Japanese and Middle East ones on Play Asia.
@Daggot I believe that is the case. Some extra customization options too.
I have the first game digitally. Wish these were DLC options. Or that they had eShop discounts for those that bought any of the other titles digitally.
The music licensing is probably the largest expense and why they need to make them separate titles.
Annoyng it comes out so late without any news on physical, asian english one comes out next month and I rather get a EU physical if possible, but I rather not wait either.
I still haven’t played the Fist of the North Star one yet. I’m actually trying to put in more hours in Fitness Boxing 2. Just trying to unlock the achievements on there, but I finally unlocked the swimsuits.
Congratulations, Aksys
I still prefer the Standard edition, for shirtless male trainers.
I'm not a fan of waifus.
Lookit if the aminu gorl helps da peoples gets in shape, I say lets her boxing.
