Rayark announces Cytus II for 2027

Rayark has put Cytus II on Nintendo’s current and next-generation platforms, with a release window set for 2027. NintendoEverything reported the announcement on May 23, saying Rayark and Flyhigh Works are bringing the rhythm game to Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. (nintendoeverything.com) Gematsu separately reported the same release window and said Esquadra is handling the port. (gematsu.com) The announcement is narrow on timing. 2027 is the only date attached so far, with no month, launch day or pricing disclosed in the reports now online. That leaves the immediate takeaway simple: the mobile rhythm game is getting a console release, but the schedule is still broad. (rayark.com) ### Which versions were actually announced? NintendoEverything said the game is planned for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, not just one of the two systems. Its report described the project as a joint announcement from Flyhigh Works and Rayark. (nintendoeverything.com) Gematsu’s write-up matched that platform list and added that publisher Flyhigh Works and developer Esquadra are involved alongside Rayark, which created the original game. That matters because it points to this being a dedicated console port rather than a quiet store listing or backward-compatibility note. (nintendoeverything.com) ### What did the companies say about the date? The number to keep is 2027. NintendoEverything said the game is “heading to both platforms in 2027,” and its report did not include a more precise launch target. (nintendoeverything.com) Gematsu also listed the release as 2027 and did not report a firm date beyond that year. As of May 23, the available reporting shows no announced pre-order timing, no edition breakdown and no price. ### What is Cytus II for readers who only know the name? (gematsu.com) Rayark’s official English page describes Cytus II as a music rhythm game and says the title builds on the original Cytus with added gameplay elements and a story unlocked through songs. The company’s official site says the game first launched as a mobile title and presents it as part of Rayark’s established rhythm-game lineup. (nintendoeverything.com) NintendoEverything’s report said the console release will bring the game to Nintendo platforms with new songs and characters. Its article also said the package includes more than 500 songs spanning multiple genres by Japanese and Taiwanese artists. (gematsu.com) ### Who is involved in the console release? Flyhigh Works was named in both NintendoEverything and Gematsu as a publisher tied to the new versions. Rayark remains the original developer behind Cytus II, according to Rayark’s own site and the third-party reports. (rayark.com) Gematsu identified Esquadra as the port developer for the Switch 2 and Switch editions. NintendoEverything’s brief did not foreground Esquadra in the excerpt surfaced by search, but the overlap between the two reports supports the basic release outline. (nintendoeverything.com) ### What should readers watch for next? May 23 is the publication date attached to NintendoEverything’s report, and 2027 is still the only release marker attached to the game. The next concrete update will likely be a dated trailer, store page, price, or platform-specific feature list from Rayark, Flyhigh Works, Nintendo, or Esquadra. (nintendoeverything.com) (gematsu.com)
