Cerita

Permainan ini ditetapkan di Shibuya, Tokyo. Seorang gadis bernama Hoshino Ichika, berjalan merentasi jalan dan nampak skrin LCD yang memaparkan Hatsune Miku.

Setelah dia balik ke rumah, dia terjumpa sebuah lagu bertajuk "Untitled" (tidak bertajuk) di telefon pintarnya. Kerana dia berasa ingin tahu, Ichika mainkan lagu tersebut, lalu diselubungi cahaya putih dan tiba di tempat yang tidak diketahui. Hatsune Miku berdiri di hadapan Ichika, menyambut kedatangannya ke Sekai dan mengajaknya untuk menyanyi bersama.

Watak

Virtual Singers

Permainan ini menampilkan Watak Piapro Crypton: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO dan MEIKO. Watak-watak ini membentuk Virtual Singers.

Kumpulan

Permainan ini menampilkan 20 orang watak baharu, dibahagikan ke dalam beberapa kumpulan: Leo/need, MORE MORE JUMP!, Vivid BAD SQUAD, Wonderlands×Showtime, dan 25-ji, Night Code de. Setiap kumpulan mempunyai seorang atau beberapa orang Virtual Singers yang menasihati mereka.

Sistem

Dunia Nyata dan Sekai

Hatsune Miku bercakap kepada Hoshino Ichika

Pemain boleh bertukar di antara dunia nyata dengan Sekai. Anda boleh mengembara antara dua dunia tersebut menggunakan lagu "Untitled" (tiada tajuk).

Perbualan mempunyai rakaman suara dan akan dianimasikan menggunakan Live2D.

Sistem Permainan Ritma Baharu

Pemain perlu sentuh, calit, dan kuis skrin mereka untuk padankan dengan not ritma bentuk bebas baharu. Color Palette ingin mencipta permainan yang semua orang mampu main, tanpa mengira kemahiran.

The game will feature multiple VOCALOID songs. Players can switch between the original version and Project SEKAI version. Virtual singers will perform the original songs. The original characters joined by a virtual singer will sing project SEKAI’s versions.

Some songs have 3DPVs, but players can switch to an 2D background if they want. Not every song will have a 3DPV. This is because there's a huge variety of VOCALOID songs and not every song can be accompanied by dancers. 3DPVs are saved for more fast-paced songs.

An early preview of Doctor=Funk Beat as a 2DPV.

A list of current announced songs can be found here. More songs will be added. There are plans to continually add more songs to the game. Songs that weren't originally sung by one of the Piapro characters may be added to the game as well.

On February 25, 2020, a song contest was announced. The winning song will appear in the game, although only as 2DPV. Submissions are open until April 30, 2020. The results for the contest is revealed at the first episode of Project Sekai Colorful Broadcasting Station.

They announced in September 2020 that a new song contest will be held.

Costumes

There are a variety of costumes that the characters will be able to wear. Some have color variations. One way to gain costumes is to buy them. Other methods of obtaining costumes are currently unknown.

In November 2019, a costume design contest was held. Two designs would be chosen; one for girls and one for boys. The winning designs will appear in the game. The winners were Kori (girls' design) and Ei-Flow (boys' design).

They announced in September 2020 that a new costume contest will be held.

Difficulties

There are 5 levels of difficulty:

Easy
Normal
Hard
Expert
Master

Note: To unlock the Master difficulty on a song, you need to beat the Expert difficulty with less than 5 GOOD Judgements.

Virtual Live

The Virtual live is a mode where you can go to a live concert, similar to Augmented Reality (AR) or a Vocaloid Concert.

You can see players all around the world and your favourite group performing. Encourage them with your penlight and items. First, when the live hasn't started yet, you're in a room with other players waiting it starts. You can talk with them by using the chat or sending emotes. You have also a shop where you can buy with your virtual coins accessories and set for your skin, penlights, and actions (move). You can use your penlight and your actions in the live only, and you have to put your skin in the room before going into the live.

When 10 minutes are left before the live starts, you can go to the live room and wait. The live will start at the hour displayed on the ticket in the virtual room menu. You can change the colour of your penlights do actions with your penlights, and send items. You can do emotes here too. When the live has finished, you can leave.

For the first week of launch, there will be a special round of Virtual Live! Wednesday, the Virtual Singers, Thursday, Leo/need, Friday, MORE MORE JUMP!, Saturday, Vivid BAD SQUAD, Sunday, Wonderlands x Showtime, Monday, 25-ji, Night Chord de., and finally, Tuesday, Miku, Rin, Len, Ichika, Minori, Kohane, Tsukasa, and Kanade will be together.
