Get ready to immerse yourself in Rockbeasts, the band-management RPG on everyone’s radar for 2025. Imagine stepping back into the electric energy of the MTV era, complete with rock anthems and some questionable hairstyles. In this game, you’re not just a participant; you’re the manager of a band that’s rising through the ranks of the 90s rock scene.
The game boasts the unforgettable presence of Iggy Pop, with a story penned by Jakub Szamałek—a name you’ll recognize from The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and the highly anticipated The Blood of Dawnwalker. Prepare for a story filled with the rollercoaster events of a band trying to make it big, set against a comedic yet heartfelt backdrop.
As you guide what’s dubbed as “one of the era’s most controversial bands,” you’ll experience the music industry’s dizzying heights and sobering lows. Encounter a vibrant mix of characters, many of whom are inspired by rock legends and presented as anthropomorphic animals.
You’ll be in charge of everything. Choose venues, plan the setlist, and make sure the show goes off without a hitch. It might start in a dingy basement, but remember, even legends had humble beginnings.
Each character has a story, complete with personal motivations and challenges. Will you support them on their journey, or let ambition get the better of you?
Iggy Pop, the Godfather of Punk, brings his wealth of musical experience to your screen, offering an authentic glimpse into the chaotic world of 90s rock. He steps into the narrative as “Iggy Pup,” a fictional version of himself, guiding the player as a radio host chronicling the band’s journey to stardom. You get to live the story, leading this band to potential fame and success.
The narrative isn’t a one-way street; it branches out, presenting paths that can lead to triumph or downfall. Your decisions, whether they be shaping band practice sessions, crafting their public persona, or weighing personal gain against the band’s dreams, will define their destiny.
Rock & Roll enthusiasts, take note! Make sure Rockbeasts is on your Xbox wishlist today.
