The spotlight is swinging open, the stage is set, and your moment has arrived. Publisher Microids and developer Old Skull Games have today unveiled the very first gameplay trailer for K-POP Rising: Dream to Shine, giving fans their clearest look yet at the rhythm-fuelled journey from wide-eyed trainee to global superstar — and it lands November 5 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
From Rehearsal Rooms To Stadium Lights
The new trailer pulls back the curtain on the full experience, walking players through every chapter of their rise: from gruelling studio dance and vocal practice, through social media community building, all the way to commanding the biggest stages on the planet. At the heart of the game is a fusion of rhythm action and career simulation, where every beat, step, and post shapes your path to fame.
You won’t be walking this road alone. Your best friend Nova stands by your side from day one, cheering you on, pushing you forward, and helping turn your shared dream into reality. Together you’ll start small — in your bedroom, unknown and hungry — and climb the ranks through dedication, talent, and smart choices.
Your Star, Your Story
Dream to Shine puts you in total control of your identity:
- Fully customisable character — craft your look from head to toe, with endless combinations of fashion, makeup, hairstyles, and performance styles to match your unique vibe
- Build your own group — recruit members, set your sound and image, and lead your lineup to the top of the charts
- Grow your fanbase — manage your social presence, connect with supporters, and watch your popularity soar after every show
The rhythm gameplay itself is the core of the challenge: nail the timing, master intricate choreography, hit every note, and refine your sense of tempo to turn good performances into legendary ones that audiences will remember forever.
Shine Solo — Or Triumph As A Trio
You can chase glory entirely on your own, or bring up to two friends along for the ride in 3-player online co-op. Form the ultimate dream team, coordinate your moves, and take on the world together — because K-Pop shines brightest when shared.
