PAX East 2019: SAYONARA WILD HEARTS: A POP ALBUM VIDEO GAME


A euphoric, interactive pop album about being awesome, riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200mph, created by Simogo.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a euphoric music video dream about being awesome, riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph. As the heart of a young woman breaks, the balance of the universe is disturbed. A diamond butterfly appears in her dreams and leads her through a highway in the sky, where she finds her other self: the masked biker called The Fool. Travelling through futuristic cities, dark forests, and electric deserts, The Fool sets out to find the harmony of the universe, hidden away in the hearts of Little Death and her star crossed allies; Dancing Devils, Howling Moons, Stereo Lovers and Hermit 64. Play the music in a game where every stage is set to a song of a custom-written pop album, when Sayonara Wild Hearts releases on Nintendo Switch and other platforms in 2019.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is being published with support from Annapurna Interactive.

This is hands down my favorite game from PAX East, personally, I liked it because anything that gets me closer to Gitaroo Man is the a win in my book, or any music game that doesn’t take super leet reflects skills to play is a great addition to my Switch.  Also judging by the crowd that was at Annapurna Interactive the whole weekend I think it was more than just my favorite game from the show.
