More On: E3 2016

As with a lot of franchises that end in a number that corresponds to the current or next year, Ubisoft has announced the latest entry in the Just Dance series, Just Dance 2017.  Revealed at E3, the first tracks to be revealed are:

  • "Sorry" - Justin Bieber
  • "DADDY" - Psy Ft. CL of 2NE1
  • "Cheap Thrills" - Sia Ft. Sean Paul
  • "Lean On" - Major Lazer Ft. MO & DJ Snake
  • "Worth It" - Fifth Harmony Ft. Kid Ink
  • "Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
  • "PoPiPo" - Hatsune Miku
  • "Radical" - Dyro & Dannic
  • "El Tiki" - Maluma
  • "September" - Equinox Stars
  • "What Is Love?" - Ultraclub 90

I'm not sure what's more interesting, that a song from Hatsune Miku is in the game or that Psy has another song outside of Gangnam Style.  Anyway, Just Dance 2017 will launch in October for the Wii, Wii U, NX, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and for the first time ever on PC digitally.  The game will feature six game modes including the all new Just Dance Machine exclusive to current-gen consoles and PCs where players will test their skills through a variety of dance types such as the flamenco, ballet, and the cancan.

Along with the standard game, you can also now pre-order a Gold Edition of the game which includes all of the Just Dance 2017 tracks as well as three months access to Just Dance Unlimited, a service for current-gen consoles that allows players to stream songs from previous generation consoles for a monthly or annual fee.
