Rhythmn Heaven Groove gets a release date

Rhythm Heaven Groove is one of the last confirmed games announced for the Nintendo Switch console. Its release date has finally been revealed, with its launch scheduled for July 2, 2026.

Its trailer gives an expanded sneak peek of Slice N Dice Kitchen, a game about a mother cooking. The objective is catching ingredients to the beat with a simple button input, following the familiar simple control scheme and art style from Rhythm Heaven predecessors. This minigame was shown along with others in the previous Nintendo Direct, involving both unique and standard creatures. 

Any rhythm genre fans will love the return of Rhythm Heaven, which is currently open for preorders at $39.99 USD. Tsunku, a famous Japanese musician and former member of Sharam Q, will also return to work on the stellar soundtrack of Rhythm Heaven Groove.
