Disney and Harmonix Present ‘Fantasia: Music Evolved” for the Xbox One

After Harmonix ended their multi year stream of Rock Band and Dance Central DLC, rhythm game fans like myself have anxiously awaited what was coming next from the developer. That answer came this morning, when the authority of music games announced a partnership with Disney to bring us Fantasia: Music Evolved.

Promising to bring us songs from contemporary artists such as Bruno Mars, Fun. and Kimbra, as well as classical music that’s sure to recreate the feeling of the Fantasia cartoon, the title is slated to release for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One exclusively for Kinect.

Harmonix has had quite a bit of speculation swirling around, including a rumored action game, but Fantasia literally came out of nowhere to me. At first glance, it looks similar in concept to Wii Music, but while that series is known for its simplicity, (and turned the game to a glorified noise maker in the process,) I’ll be anxiously awaiting more details since I have complete faith in the team’s ability to make compelling rhythm titles. More information is sure to surface at E3 next week.
