Originally launched by CAPCOM as a smartphone-only rhythm game back in 2013, it wouldn’t be until two years later in 2015 that Japan would see an arcade version of the game released. Produced by Naoki Maeda following his departure from Konami in 2013, the game would hold its own in the rhythm gaming world for 5 years before its upcoming closure. While the departure of its online services may seem sudden, CAPCOM has shared their rollout which I’ve gone ahead and translated below:

While crossbeats REV. SUNRISE was far from my most played rhythm game, it’s sad to know that the scene is getting just a little smaller with its departure. We’ll be sure to keep you up to date as further information is shared if any does come to light. Further information can be found via the official website.
