Reunite the Band in Rockbeasts: A Management RPG Arriving on Xbox

Get ready to mark your calendars for 2025 because Rockbeasts is set to hit the scene in a big way. This narrative-driven RPG throws you into the pulsating world of band management during the iconic MTV era, complete with catchy rock anthems and some hilariously questionable hairstyles.

Incorporating the legendary Iggy Pop and penned by the creative mind of Jakub Szamałek, known for his work on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, Rockbeasts weaves a tragicomic tale of a band trying to make it big in the rough and tumble 90s music landscape.

In your role as the manager of what could be one of the most talked-about bands of the time, you’ll be guiding these aspiring rock stars through the chaotic ups and downs of the music industry. Along your journey, expect to meet an eclectic mix of anthropomorphic animals, some even inspired by rock icons of the real world.

You’ll be choosing the venues, planning the gigs, and ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. Pull it all together, and your band might just catch that first glimpse of stardom. Sure, you might start in a less-than-glamorous basement gig, but remember, even the greats started somewhere humble.

Each character within Rockbeasts is richly developed with unique motivations and personal challenges. As a manager, you’re faced with a pivotal choice: will you nurture those around you, or will you exploit them as stepping stones to your own success?

What makes this game truly special is the presence of Iggy Pop, the Godfather of Punk himself, who brings decades of rock experience to the console. Iggy takes on the role of “Iggy Pup,” a fictionalized version of himself, who narrates the rise of your band. As a charismatic radio host, he immerses you in the band’s turbulent journey to fame.

Through engaging, branching narratives filled with unexpected twists, the destiny of your band will largely be influenced by the choices you make. It’s up to you to manage their rehearsals, shape their public image, and do whatever it takes to help this quirky band of anthropomorphic talent reach stardom—or not. Whether you choose to be a supportive guide or pursue your own ambitions at their expense, the game’s direction is truly in your hands.

So, rock and roll fans, it’s time to add Rockbeasts to your Xbox Store wishlist today and prepare to experience the thrill of band management like never before.
