If rock music and dark humour is your thing, then developer Lichthund and Team17 has a new role for you to fill, manager of an up-and-coming rock band in Rockbeasts. The band may be rough around the edges, sure, but as a manager, it’s your job to propel them to stardom.
Rockbeasts was announced back in February for PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch consoles. You can now get a closer look at the characters and their crazy haircuts through the Rockbeasts gameplay trailer.
It’s a long way to the top
As a management sim, you will choose the venue, get the set ready, and prepare a gang of misfits to put on an unforgettable show. Rockbeasts is set in the United States during the 90s, marked by a time of grunge rock, raging capitalism, and music television. Fittingly, Rockbeasts will have a branching narrative, meaning your choices matter for the future of the band. Will you help your band become the next face of rock music or will they be known as sellouts?
Your band members will change in time and so will your relationship with them. Speaking of band members, they’re not the only stars of the show. Rockbeasts will feature the voice of Iggy Pop (as Iggy Pup) from The Stooges. As for the story in Rockbeasts, it’s written by Jakub Szamalek, Senior Writer of The Witcher 3, and Principle Writer of Cyberpunk 2077. With over 100 characters and 90 locations, finding a venue won’t be an issue when your band goes on tour.
Rockbeasts doesn’t yet have a release date, but it’s expected to arrive in 2026.
