It has been confirmed by SEGA that a Rhythm Thief game will be coming to iOS as a freemium game sometime this winter. The exact nature of the game and whether or not it will be released in the west is currently unknown, though the game will supposedly be tweaked for shorter play sessions and will include social features. Freemium games typically give you a basic game package for free, than charge you for additional in-game items. SEGA’s Spiral Knights online RPG uses such a system.
We should find out exactly what this game will be when the Tokyo Game Show rolls around later this month. Cross your fingers for a western release!
Rhythm Thief is a rhythm game originally released for the 3DS. It uses rhythm games to play out a variety of scenarios in the game’s storyline. It received a B+ from us last month and has been well received by critics. As a major fan of the game myself, I would highly recommend picking it up and supporting SEGA’s original IP releases.

I had a blast with Rhythm Thief on the 3DS, and I’m a major fan. But still…..this….I just don’t know about it. It might be good, but freemium? Really? I hope this is more of a spin off and that we’ll still get a legit Rhythm Thief 2 someday…
i hope they start adding phantom R in games liek that all star sonic raceing
That would be awesome.
Still planning on getting this on 3ds
