Finally here, Maestro's Star Wars DLC is, Padawan!
As Yoda would say, "Control, control, you must learn control!" (or should it be Culture?).
Out now: The Star Wars content pack includes a brand new track from the iconic Star Wars: Episode 1 - 'Duel of the Fates' by John Williams, as well as a brand new in-game cosmetic–a mini lightsaber ready to use as a baton–to transport you at lightspeed into the Star Wars universe, for Quest, SteamVR, PICO and PSVR2.
You heard that right: Maestro has just launched on PSVR2 with all content packs available as part of a Complete Collection Bundle! The same bundle is also now available on all platforms to celebrate the release of the DLC.
"Maestro ambitiously redefines VR rhythm gaming." –4.5/5 from UploadVR

But fret not–you won't be conducting just classical music, for you can find a plethora of genres to conduct (with the exciting inclusion of some of your favourite franchises).

'Developer' Quote:
"Why have I created Maestro, you ask? Well, surely you never ordered a 120-strong choir to unleash the heavens with a tip of the wrist. Or effortlessly pinched to a halt the thunderous roar of every string, wind and percussion in a perfect unison. Or pleased a French crowd. That, my friend, is why I created Maestro. Write it down. WRITE THAT DOWN I SAID." –Eric de Roch, CEO of Culture
Learn the skills of a real-life conductor, keeping the tempo, cueing musicians, and guiding crescendos to an epic musical finale. You'll also unlock new costumes, batons and decors, titles and trophies that'll pace your rise as a true Person of Culture / true Maestro!
Features:
-
Be the Maestro: Learn to expertly conduct a gigantic orchestra in VR, using your hands to follow the tempo dynamics and give cues to the musicians.
-
Infinite variety: Play your own custom music in creative mode, or move your hands to the music in casual mode.
-
Play your way: Adjust the difficulty for a calmer (or harder!) experience.
-
