Rockbeasts ‘Gameplay’ trailer

by

Team17 and Lichthund have just released a new trailer showcasing gameplay from their upcoming story-focused RPG, Rockbeasts, which centers around managing a band.

Here is an overview of the game, via Team17:

About

Manage a quirky band as they chase fame during the exciting era of MTV, powerful rock songs, and questionable fashion choices. In Rockbeasts, you’re the manager, and your mission is to guide this rising band to the very top of the charts. It’s a story-rich game where your choices shape their journey.

From the writer of acclaimed games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Blood of Dawnwalker comes Rockbeasts, a darkly comedic role-playing game where you manage a rock band during the era of big hair, music videos, and unforgettable anthems.

Rock and Roll Band Manager

You’re making a real impact on music. Your songs are innovative and push boundaries – the kind of work that creates new genres. That’s why you chose a record label that supports artistic expression, isn’t it? You stayed true to your vision, didn’t you?

Becoming a successful band manager is challenging, and it’s not always clear what the right path is. Will you guide your band to rebellious stardom or compromise for mainstream success? Rockbeasts takes place in 1990s America, a period defined by grunge music, a booming economy, and the rise of music television.

Someone once asked me if I got hangovers. I replied, ‘You only get hangovers if you stop drinking.’ – Lemmy Kilmister

Someone needs to get this group prepared for the performance, and that’s where you come in. You’ll need to help them pull it together. They have a lot of talent, but it’s up to you to make sure they’re fed and have the equipment they need each week.

“I won’t be a rock star. I will be a legend.” – Freddie Mercury

Choose the location, get everything set up, and make sure the performance runs smoothly. If it’s a success, the band could be on their way to achieving their dreams. It’s true this gig is in a pretty rough basement, but even famous bands had to start small.

We created over 100 characters and 90 different places for this project! And Rockbeasts isn’t just a short EP – it’s a complete double album.

Each character feels like a real person, and your decisions will affect them. Your bandmates will evolve over time, and your relationships with them will change as well.

In Rockbeasts, you’re the manager making all the big decisions. Create your own rockstar story and see how your choices impact the outcome.

The game boasts a stellar cast of voice actors, including talent from popular titles like Baldur’s Gate III, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, Metaphor ReFantazio, Alan Wake II, and many others.

Rockbeasts is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025.
