SEGA of Japan have revealed they’re developing a new IP for a 3DS rhythm game. The game is literally translated from Japanese to English as “Rhythm Phantom Thief R: Inheritance of the Emperor Napoleon”. Catchy.

The game will mash up rhythm gaming with adventure elements. You play as Phantom Thief R who wanders Paris with his dog Fondue, stealing treasure from historical landmarks like Notre-Dame and The Louvre. The rhythm part of the game kicks in when you are sneaking into these landmarks to steal their treasure. Tilt controls have also been confirmed.

The game will get a proper announcement next week and Famitsu are reporting that the game is half-finished at this time.
