Those who are curious about its development can check out Heaven Studio’s official GitHub and Itch.io pages for more information. The tool is currently still in an Alpha build but that shouldn’t stop players from testing it out themselves.

While there hasn’t been a new title in the franchise like the official release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Heaven Studio is another way to celebrate the franchise’s long legacy.
Heaven Studio is set to release on January 15, 2024.
