I can't imagine life without music. Whacking on my eclectic mix of playlists is a more important part of my morning routine than coffee, and I'm 99% powered by the sacred liquid. Imagine waking up one day and finding that two-stepping in a mosh pit is now illegal? Sends a shiver up my spine, that. Well, that's exactly how things are in anime-style rhythm game Unbeatable , and after seven years in development, it finally got a release date at Gamescom Opening Night Live.

- Happy [white label] 2nd Year Anniversary! New Patch, Tournaments, Q&A and more! - 7 May 2023
Hey gang, Today marks the 2nd-year anniversary of UNBEATABLE ! We thought we’d give a few surprises to celebrate the occasion while the team’s been hard at work on the full game, including the release of PATCH V1.0.10, the start of The UNBEATABLE ‘23 season, a progress update on the final game, and more! V1.0.10: CHART OVERHAUL 2.0 All of our levels, known by the community as charts or beatmaps, are getting a major refresh in UNBEATABLE ’s newest patch, arriving today!

- End of the Year Progress Update on the Main Game! - 10 December 2022
Hi gang! We hope you're staying safe this winter! With 's upcoming patch and our appearance at MAGFest, the team is ready to close off the year on a strong note. So, how's production on the game going? Since we last talked, the team has continued making great progress on the story mode. First and foremost are the litany of visual enhancements we've brought to the game! Characters now display dynamic rimlighting to help them pop against the environment, all of which is affected by both the sun and the plethora of dynamic light sources we have added to each environment. This has been combined with an overhaul of our material and surface shaders - every object in the game now has defined paint strokes that catch the light at different times of day in just the right way, which, coupled with the refined cel-shading, helps lend each environment a lovely, hand-crafted feel… That wide variety o…
