Tathvamasi Studios announced in a September 28, 2026 PlayStation Blog post that Suri: The Seventh Note, its debut rhythm platformer, will launch on PlayStation 5 on October 30, 2026. The reveal follows four years of development and confirms that pre-orders are live now with a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition.
Pre-orders open with two PS5 editions
The Standard Edition includes the base game and a 20 percent pre-order discount with PlayStation Plus membership. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, the exclusive Chandini Skin DLC, a 20 percent pre-order discount with PlayStation Plus membership, and 3 days of early access to the full game.
The Chandini Skin and DLC will not be sold separately. They are only obtainable through the Digital Deluxe Edition, and buyers who purchase that edition after launch still receive both the exclusive Chandini Skin and DLC.
Music and rhythm shaped by Indian sounds
The game follows protagonist Ajira across the island of Suri, which draws inspiration from Indian artistic and architectural traditions, including Rajput forts, Theyyam Culture, Himalayan monasteries, and diverse regional cultures.
About 80 percent of the music in the game was recorded with original analogue instruments rather than synthesized electronically, to preserve the texture of the music. The music adapts by region: the southern part of the island uses a veena instead of a sitar, while the desert portions draw on Rajasthan and its musical traditions.
The soundtrack uses a hybrid music genre, a hip-hop-like structure with Indian textures and Indian percussion instruments laid over it, because authentic Indian music rhythms do not always fit the gameplay timing.
India Hero Project and a precise timing foundation
Suri: The Seventh Note is part of the PlayStation India Hero Project. The developers built the game around a 480 millisecond gap between main beats, a timing chosen to leave enough space for player input response without making interactions feel slow or disconnected.
Suri follows other indie titles that have made their way to PlayStation this year, including Luma Island. Rhythm fans looking for more beat-driven play can also revisit Rhythm Heaven Groove, which launched on Nintendo Switch.
