Konami, well-known for its music game series "BEMANI", has announced that the VR band performance game "BEAT AR ENA" will be released on March 12, 2021 (Friday)!
At the same time, the official "BEAT ARENA" website has opened and a trailer video has been released for the first time!
Play with your favorite instrument from 4 types of instruments!
Players enter a VR space and play instruments as if they were performing in a live venue.
Four types of instruments are available: drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards!
Drums -Drums
Play drums by swinging the stick.
Reminiscent of "DrumMania" from Konami's music game "GITADORA".

This is similar to "GuitarFreaks".
Bass -Bass
Like the guitar, the bass player holds down the neck while stroking.
