What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“‘PLATiNA :: LAB’ is a brand-new rhythm game featuring a wide variety of music genres and uniquely charming characters.
To refine and deliver the best version of the unique experience only PLATiNA :: LAB can offer—one that you won’t find in any other game—we need your valuable feedback.

That’s why we’re launching an Early Access period before the official release, so we can actively incorporate your input into the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to run Early Access for 8 to 12 months, aiming for a full release in early 2026.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“By the time of the official launch, we intend to improve the overall gameplay experience by polishing the core systems and introducing new features such as online multiplayer and other game modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of April 2025, players can access three game modes: [DB Select], [Free Play], and [Research Log].
The [Free Play] mode includes over 70 tracks, consisting of default songs available from the start and additional songs that can be unlocked by completing missions in the [Research Log].
We also plan to continue adding more unlockable content throughout the Early Access period via updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the base game will remain unchanged after the official release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are committed to incorporating feedback received through our official channels such as our X (formerly Twitter) account and Discord server, so we can shape the game into something that meets—and exceeds—your expectations.”
