Overview

Empire of Winter is an instrumental track by the composer Street, first appearing in lowiro's mobile rhythm game Arcaea before crossing over into maimai でらっくす PRiSM in January 2025. Clocking in at 2:18 with a driving BPM of 175, the piece leans into a cold, martial energy befitting its name, layered synth leads, crisp percussion, and a relentless tempo that carries through its entire duration. In maimai, the song's highest difficulty chart (Master, level 13+ / constant 13.7) was designed by Jack, while the Expert chart (level 10+) was handled by サファ太 (Safata). As a cross-title guest track from Arcaea, Empire of Winter represents a continued exchange between the two rhythm game communities, offering players on both sides a recognizable banner to revisit in a new control scheme.
