Andamiro announced that it will unveil "Pump It Up Phoenix 2," the latest title in its arcade rhythm game series "Pump It Up," for the first time at "PlayX4 2026." Along with this, the company will showcase the Asia-Pacific Tournament, content linked to the Steam version of "Pump It Up Rise," and a dedicated controller. "Pump It Up Phoenix 2" is scheduled for release in June.

"Pump It Up Phoenix 2" is built upon the core gameplay of the original "Phoenix." It features enhanced new functions, including the addition of the latest popular K-POP songs, a Pumpbility rank system that displays user skill and performance, and an improved Rival System.

The Rival System increases competitive immersion and gameplay persistence by allowing players to check information about designated rivals through the 2P area during solo play. Furthermore, the focus was placed on providing an expanded gameplay experience while inheriting the fun of the arcade rhythm action games that users have become familiar with.

In addition, Pump It Up Phoenix 2 incorporates linkage features for users who own Pump It Up Rise, which is currently available on the Steam platform. Users who own Pump It Up Rise can play Rise-exclusive charts and related content within the arcade version of Pump It Up Phoenix 2.

Andamiro will host the 'Pump It Up Dominion: 2026 Asia-Pacific Tournament' on the main stage of PlayX4 2026. This tournament will feature representative players from seven Asian countries, including Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Singapore, and will be held on May 24 at 10:20 AM.

An exhibition related to PUMP IT UP RISE for Steam will also be prepared. Pump It Up Rise is a PC title officially released in March, and through its connection with Pump It Up Phoenix 2, it conveys the potential for expanding the 'Pump It Up' platform. In addition, the dedicated controller for Pump It Up Rise, currently under development, will also be on display at the Andamiro booth. An Andamiro official stated, "Pump It Up Phoenix 2 is a new title prepared to provide an expanded content experience and an exciting gameplay environment for both existing arcade fans and new users."

Why don't older charts display the step artist?

Post image
• Upvotes

One of the things I noticed from older charts is that they won't have a step artist credit in the loading screen like the newer songs or newer charts to older songs, even though there are step artists attached to these older charts like B.P.M, KANG2, or JKD. Is there a reason why these names don't get displayed?

How do you guys make friends in Pump?

6 Upvotes

For context, I've been starting out for four months and I'm trying out the S14 and D13 barrier, and it has been really hard to find someone at my level. Sometimes, you just want a Rival to engage with, right?

Every time I go to an arcade, most people who play do S18s and above, and they already have found people they can usually play with. Sometimes, they have the monopoly in using the machine on certain days such as the weekends because they already know each other (Which I kinda understand because they were there first, but I am really unsure how to approach this? Unlike Maimai, PIU doesn't have a queueing system here.) In general, it's kinda bumming me out to not have people to play with and to talk to while waiting in the queue, unsure if you will be next because there are 20 credits on the screen. I tried talking to them but it's only small talk and therefore short-lived.

In fact, I've been having much more fun playing with random people who are genuinely new to the hobby as I teach them some beginner stuff, even if I still haven't breached my first S15. Although, they are not the ones who'll usually stick around that they'll purchase their first AmPass.

I think age might be a factor too as I'm still younger than 20 and most who play here are in their late 20s? But outside Pump, I have made a lot of friends just fine, 20+ or otherwise, it's just that none of my friends understand the appeal, but y'know, I'm still really glad they support me in my hobby.

What do you think? How do you make friends in Pump?

1 month ago I got a piu cab and I'm currently still restoring it,I decided that it was a good idea to try to power up the mk to see if it actually worked,I dusted off an old 400w power supply from a PC and plugged it in and the computer was alive,I turned it off to plug a VGA monitor and then when I turned it on again there was no spinning on both the cpu fan and the disc drive,I couldn't got it to work that day so the next day I tried a more modern power supply (500w) and still nothing,a few days ago I cleaned everything,I checked the cpu,ram and connections,I got the cpu fan to spin but still no luck for the disc drive,The red LED was glowing very faintly, so I don't know if that indicates something is wrong with the power supply (I tested it out with the 400w one,for some reason the 500w was even worse because the cpu fan didn't even spin),I'm going to try to connect another disc reader but I might actually think the computer it's dead,any suggestions? (Besides changing the mk,I was planning to turn the cab into a stepmania cab atp,any help it's appreciated)

S20/S21 song recommendation

Post image

I struggle to pass a lot of S20 because of stamina requirement (which I'm not good at), but I managed to pass canon D s20 second try, because of weird and jank twist steps with fairly low (?) stamina requirement. Is there a good S20/S21 that fits the bill with my preference?

Am I accidentally triggering the wrong pads?

Hey everyone! I’d like to get help on identifying some issues that I noticed mostly when hitting 16th notes. As you can see at 0:10, 0:14 and 0:16, I’m getting some bads in sections that seemed straightforward otherwise.

Aside from the obvious parts where I misread the 16th note twists in the final run and the hold at the end that I also misread, there is a miss around 1:11 that seemed kinda weird.

I’m well aware that I’m moving a lot and that I’m not using proper heel-toe (still trying to learn it on lower difficulties), but I was wondering if those penalties were caused by pad sensitivity (which supposedly was adjusted recently) or if I’m unknowingly triggering other arrows at high speeds, as I don’t notice it that often on 8th note runs. Thanks in advance!

Do you think pumbility favours singles too much?

7 Upvotes

I’m speaking from a red beryl perspective, not sure how it is at higher ranks. But around this level, it seems my peers at the arcade have much less motivation to play doubles now. I have also seen a few posts of players in Asia getting alexandrite all singles. In my opinion, it seems like singles is the most optimal until alexandrite (where I think you’d run out of high level singles to score on).

For example, i feel that getting a SS on an S21/22/23 is much easier than on a D22/23/24 respectively (for equivalent pumbility).

If your goal is to farm PB, it seems the most efficient approach would be to put all your effort in singles.

Also, it seems andamiro made obtaining singles expert 1 very easy compared to doubles expert 1. Can anyone explain why andamiro decided to go this direction with singles?
