Lichthund and Team17 Digital have released a new gameplay trailer for story-driven band management sim game Rockbeasts.
You may well recognised the voice in the trailer, as Team17 Digital tells us, yes, that’s Iggy Pop playing… Iggy Pup. It works if you watch the trailer, because the characters are animals. Just trust us and have a watch.
The description of the game is as follows: “Take the role of a notorious band manager, to help a struggling rock band from their beginnings, trading couch-surfing for crowd-surfing. Will you stay true to your art? Or will you sell out for fortune and fame? The choices you make as a manager will have profound and lasting impacts on your members.”
There’s an original soundtrack with 17 songs as well, and here’s the rest of the key features:
- Managing your band: Pick the venue, prep the set and make sure it all goes according to plan. Pull it off and the band might just finally take those first steps to fame and glory. Will you be the manager who helps those around you, or use others as the stepping stone to success?
- Fully voiced characters: This fully voiced, dark comedy is brought to life by amazing vocal performances and including none other than the rockstar himself, Iggy Pop.
- Acclaimed writing: written by acclaimed video game writer Jakub Szamałek (Senior writer of The Witcher 3, Principal Writer of Cyberpunk 2077 and the upcoming The Blood of Dawnwalker).
- Rags ‘n’ riches narrative: Branching narratives from a storytelling master means you’ll have to make impactful choices and experience a whole different outcome for the future of your band.
- Original Soundtrack: 17 full tracks for you to play at your gigs, performed and mastered just for Rockbeasts.
Rockbeasts is coming to PC via Steam.
