Bit.Trip Void coming to WiiWare on 11/23

We've just received a ton of Bit.Trip-related newsbits, including a release date for the next chapter of the series, an iTunes release of the first game's soundtrack, and the sponsorship of a chiptune music festival.

So far, the Bit.Trip series has been soooo good. While we haven't gotten our hands on the third game in the series, Bit.Trip Void does have all of the ingredients that turned the first two games (Bit.Trip Beat and Bit.Trip Core) into downloadable classics. Thankfully, we won't have to wait long, as Bit.Trip Void has been confirmed for a November 23 release, according to an email from Gaijin Games.

The Bit.Trip news doesn't stop there, as the email also details an official soundtrack album release (available now on iTunes) as well as Gaijin Games' sponsorship of Blip Festival 2009.

You can find out more about all three of these cool new developments in the press release below, which is way more fun to read than every other release I've read this year, combined. Enjoy!

Item #3:

Gaijin Games is proud to announce our sponsorship of Blip Festival 2009! As huge fans of the chipmusic phenomenon, we figured why not do our part and support the New York-based festival this year to show our appreciation for all those chip musicians we love to love!

As you know, we've collaborated with Bit Shifter, Bubblyfish, and Nullsleep on BIT.TRIP BEAT, CORE, and VOID, and we're looking forward to continuing that tradition as the series continues. Our sponsorship of Blip Festival 2009 is one way of giving back to that creative community that we so admire.

If anyone out there wants to offer their support to The People's Fund to Support Blip Festival 2009, head over to kickstarter and back the project!

We're working on some pretty cool ideas for the show, and we'll keep folks posted as the festival draws near.

Continue rocking on. Over and out.
