Muse Dash 2 has a public Steam page and is confirmed for PC, smartphones, and arcades, but no release date has been announced.
Developer peropero opened the Steam store page for Muse Dash 2 on July 1, 2026, confirming the sequel's existence after years of speculation. The page reveals online multiplayer for at least four players, new chart gimmicks such as transforming long notes and teleporter route branches, and a Rhythm Party mode inspired by Rhythm Heaven. The game is planned for PC, smartphones, and arcades, with a dedicated controller also under consideration.
At BitSummit PUNCH in Kyoto in May 2026, peropero CEO Haoqi showed the domestic debut of the sequel. In an interview with 4Gamer, Haoqi said the game fills in what the first game left undone, packing in ideas he could not realize during the original's limited budget and team size. The core tap-and-hold controls remain unchanged, but the sequel adds arcade play, a Rhythm Heaven-style mini-game collection, and planned multiplayer. New note gimmicks, a revised scoring system, and chart branching are confirmed.
The two stories together show a sequel that expands content and modes rather than reinventing the core loop. The Steam page and the BitSummit appearance establish the same set of features: multiplayer, new gimmicks, branching stages, and a mini-game mode. No release date has been announced.

Developer peropero opened the Steam store page for Muse Dash 2 on July 1, 2026, revealing new details about the sequel to the rhythm action game. The page shows that Muse Dash 2 retains the side-scrolling action and simple two-lane controls of the original, where players defeat enemies and avoid obstacles to the beat. New features include online multiplayer supporting at least four players in score-based battles, with the ability to throw interference items at opponents in some modes. A collection of mini-games inspired by Rhythm Heaven is also planned, with screenshots showing a mode called Rhythm Party that turns activities like snowboarding and bartending into rhythm challenges. Other additions include animated song jackets, song pack-specific backgrounds, and interactive 3D parallax wallpapers. The game is in development for PC via Steam, smartphones, and arcades, with no release date announced yet. The store page went live after Muse Dash 2 was playable at events like BitSummit PUNCH in May 2026, where it surprised fans before an official announcement.
