Ever wanted to manage your own rock band of dysfunctional, anthropomorphic musicians? Well now you can, thanks to Lichtund and Team17 Digital’s band management sim, ROCKBEASTS. Step into the shoes of band manager as you assemble and guide your band through the 90s dive bar scene. Iggy Pup, the lead singer, is voiced by Iggy Pop, but the rest of the crew is fully voiced as well and darkly comedic. Written by Jakub Szamalek, the senior writer of The Witcher 3 and Principal Writer of Cyberpunk 2077, ROCKBEASTS is a story-driven management RPG with mature themes, and even more mature humor. Branching storylines mean that your choices truly matter, drastically affecting the future of your band along the way. Do you sellout for fame, or stay true to your music? That’s, like, totally up to you, dude.
ROCKBEASTS is releasing in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Check out the announcement trailer below:
