Blacknut-Konami partnership thrives with newest Konami IP now available for Blacknut Players across devices in its first cloud release


Paris - February 12, 2024.


Just months after acclaimed game publisher Konami debuted long awaited IP Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, the game is now available on the Blacknut catalog in the IP’s first debut on a cloud gaming platform.

Renowned Japanese publisher Konami recently released a new game for fans of rhythm and adventure: Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Following the announcement of the Konami-Blacknut partnership in February 2023, which brought indie adventure Skelattack to the cloud gaming service, Konami is bringing its new rhythm-adventure IP to Blacknut players across the world and inauguraly making the game available for the cloud. Just months after its worldwide release, the game is now available across Blacknut compatible devices, including LG and Samsung SmartTVs in select regions, to ensure players a super experience.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is a party rhythm game featuring several tracks from Konami games, including Beatmania and Castlevania, where once inside players will work to defeat the unhinged King Ferdinand while keeping to the beat; the chaotic and crazy experience includes throwing beans in an ancient summoning ritual, getting down with an eggplant DJ, and covering tiny meat people in gravy for reasons Konami assures players will become clear once they’ve started. The game is designed for both solo play and for up to three players in a local co-op, perfect for Blacknut’s multiplayer functionality, so friends can conquer the castle with exciting levels and mini games together.


The Japanese multinational entertainment company and video game developer Konami has been a major figure in the world of entertainment since 1969 and has developed a strong global presence through a wide distribution of its games and products. The game publishing division is responsible for popular games including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, Castlevania games, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Contra, and more.
