SEGA has joined forces with international pop icon Pitbull to rejuvenate its acclaimed rhythm series, Samba de Amigo. The partnership will be highlighted in two upcoming games: Samba de Amigo: Party Central for Nintendo Switch and Samba de Amigo for Meta Quest.
Globally known as ‘Mr. Worldwide’, Pitbull will be a featured artist in the series, enabling players to groove to his chart-topping hits. Among the tracks to be included are the popular “Shake Senora (featuring T-Pain and Sean Paul)”, a new song “Let’s Take a Shot” from Pitbull’s upcoming album, Trackhouse, and the previously announced hit, “Celebrate (From The Original Motion Picture ‘Penguins of Madagascar’)”. These tracks will be available as part of a free Day 1 update for all players with an online connection.
Samba de Amigo: Party Central is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch on August 29, 2023, while the Meta Quest version is set for release on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro in the fall, followed by a later release on Meta Quest 3. Pre-orders for both games are now open on the official website.
Promising a dynamic rhythm action experience with intuitive controls, the games are designed to be enjoyable for players of all skill levels. They feature 40 hit songs from various genres, with more to be added as post-launch paid DLC. Players can also look forward to character customization options, an online World Party mode, and competitive online leaderboards.
Samba de Amigo: Party Central, the latest installment in the Samba de Amigo series, offers a global dance party adventure. The game brings back the beloved character Amigo and his companions, allowing players to immerse themselves in a vibrant, rhythm-driven world.
The game invites players to dance to the rhythm of 40 hit songs from a variety of popular music genres, with additional songs to be introduced as post-launch downloadable content.
