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.
