Nippon Ichi Software has unveiled a 25th-anniversary website for the Rhapsody series. The website is sparse on new information, with Nippon Ichi Software promising updates and news on the series as the year continues.
The Rhapsody series is a trilogy of music-focused RPGs consisting of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess, and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl. The trilogy focuses on the dual stories of puppeteer Cornet and her daughter Kururu as they adventure across the kingdom of Marl, where players will engage in interactive musical numbers and turn-based battling against a myriad of foes seeking to silence their virtual song. The exact 25th anniversary of the series happened on December 17th, 2023, neatly coinciding with the release of the first game on December 17th, 1998, for the original PlayStation.

The first title was included in the Prinny Presents NIS Classics Vol. 3 compilation released for both Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. The second and third titles were released last year in the Marl Kingdom Chronicles collection for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
