Along with its release date of March 8, 2012, a limited edition went on sale at the same time which included a Nendoroid Puchi figure as an additional add-on. This marked the first time in the franchises lifetime that a game has changed its original name. Two months later in November, Famitsu unveiled the game's final name: Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai.

Technically, development of the game began in mid-2010 although it was only officially announced as Hastune Miku -Project Mirai- in September 2011. The music and style of animation follow closely to its previous games, but with enhanced 3D effects and additional minor changes. Similar to its previous series, players are rated on their accuracy on a scale and displayed on the bottom of the screen. The game’s primary gameplay is based on a “Chance Circle System” where players are required to press the buttons in sync with the timing of the appearing circles. However, as the game is still a spin-off from the original Project Diva series, there are numerous differences in the game’s art style, gameplay mechanics, an augmented reality mode, and a My Room mode where players get to interact with their modules in a room. The game is based on a series of singing synthesizer software and primarily based on Crypton Vocaloids such as Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Gumi from Internet Co. It is a rhythm game created by both Sega and Crypton Future Media as a spin-off of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series of Vocaloid rhythm games. Hatsune Miku Project Mirai also known as Hatsune Miku and Future Stars Project Mirai was released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS.
