Fantasia: Music Evolved release date set for October

Now with more Depeche Mode.

Harmonix's Kinect-exclusive music game Fantasia: Music Evolved is due for a worldwide launch on 21st October for Xbox One and Xbox 360, the developer has announced.

The motion-based rhythm game will include over 30 songs, with the most recently announced including Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence, The Who's The Real Me, Police's Message in a Bottle, Drake's Take Care, MIA's Galang, and Tchaikovsky's holiday classic The Nutcracker Medley.

Now if only Disney would awkwardly merge its brand with Joy Division again.

I took a look at Fantasia earlier this spring at GDC, where I was struck by how much Harmonix captured the spirit of Walt Disney's 1940 film. "Just as Fantasia represented Disney at its most experimental, it's only fitting that Harmonix's Kinect-based offering is equally out there," I wrote in my Fantasia: Music Evolved preview. "At a distance it looks like the world's most abstract workout regime, but go with it anyway. You just might discover an all new, most excellent way to rock out to Queen."

This is Yen Sid's previous apprentice, Scout, who will act as your guide through Fantasia: Music Evolved.
