Overview
Excalibur ~Revived resolution~ is a high-energy instrumental track by Project Grimoire, the collaborative unit behind several of maimai's most enduring original compositions. Clocking in at a relentless 200 BPM, the song serves as a direct narrative and musical sequel to Caliburne ~Story of the Legendary sword~ (maimai ORANGE) and continues the group's loosely Arthurian-legend-themed series, which traces back to Arthur~once Upon a Time~ on the Grimoire of Emerald album. The track was first unveiled at JAEPO 2018 and arrived in maimai MiLK on February 20, 2018, as that version's inaugural Challenge Track, a limited-time unlock that required players to fulfill special conditions before it entered the general song pool on March 6. Its music video is dense with callbacks to earlier works in the series: a book inscribed with Arthur's title, a cameo by Brionac~Lugh Lamhfhata~ (originally from Rayark's Cytus), and the reappearance of Ruff, the small dragon-like character who featured in Caliburne's video. The MASTER chart, designed by 小鳥遊さん (Takanashi-san), carries forward the signature difficulty of its predecessor with continuous Tap-and-Slide sequences, 24th-note trills, and punishingly fast "shoulder-burn" zones that demand constant hand switching across dense Slide formations, all without the slide-rush patterns that defined Caliburne's hardest chart. Compositionally, Project Grimoire encompasses Team Grimoire and Ice (Wilson Lam), with an unnamed third contributor listed in the staff credits. The track remains purely instrumental with no vocal element.
