Creators of Guitar Hero franchise set to launch new guitar-focused video game
A team of developers, including those from the Guitar Hero franchise, have come together in collaboration with Gibson Guitars and RedOctane Games to create a new rhythm-action game called “Stage Tour.” This game takes inspiration from the original Guitar Hero series but adds a personalized RPG touch to it.
Recently, the official video game trailer for Stage Tour was released, featuring music from Static X. The trailer gave a glimpse into what players can expect from this upcoming game, promising a blend of familiar note-highway gameplay with modern twists and exciting gameplay features. Stage Tour aims to rejuvenate the plastic-instrument rhythm gaming genre with new features, various game modes, and a competitive edge.
One of the key components of Stage Tour is building your band. Players have the opportunity to unlock unique bandmates with varying looks, attitudes, and stage presences. These band members can be assigned different roles like Lead, Groove, Drums, or Vocals, making the band truly customizable to fit your style. The game also allows players to select and play with official Gibson guitar and bass designs, evolving the band as you progress through the game.
Stage Tour encourages players to own the stage, challenging them to master every note and conquer various gameplay challenges. As players rise through the ranks, they unlock legendary rewards and exclusive content, adding to the excitement and competitiveness of the game. In addition, the game is community-centered, with plans for future features, events, and content, shaping the game’s future by engaging with the community.
While there is no specific release date for Stage Tour yet, it is expected to launch sometime this year. The addition of a Static X song in the game’s trailer generates further anticipation for the game’s release. Players interested in the game’s release date can sign up for notifications and add the game to their wishlist on Steam.
Stage Tour promises to mark a new era in the rhythm-action game genre, offering players a fresh and unique experience that combines elements from Guitar Hero with exciting new twists. With an expansive roadmap, competitive gameplay, and a focus on community engagement, Stage Tour aims to capture the essence of rhythm gaming once again. The collaboration between the developers, Gibson Guitars, and RedOctane Games holds promise for a game that will delight both old fans of the genre and newcomers looking for an immersive music gaming experience.
