Lead Your Band to Stardom in Rockbeasts – Coming 2025
The New Band-Management Narrative RPG Starts Touring in 2025
Introduction
Lichthund and Team17 Digital are proud to announce their new game: Rockbeasts, a band-management story-driven RPG.
Tune up your guitar, check your mic levels, and get ready to play the most underground dive bars in this totally radical tour-de-force through 1993. You take the role of a notorious band manager, tasked with raising a struggling rock band from their humble beginnings—trading couch-surfing for crowd-surfing. Will you stay true to your art, or will you sell out for fortune and fame? The choices you make as a manager will have profound and lasting impacts on your band members.
Pick the venue, prep the set, and make sure it all goes according to plan. Pull it off, and the band might just take those first steps toward fame and glory. Sure, this gig might be in a grimy basement, but even the rock legends had to start somewhere, right?

Details & Information
Experience the characters that bring this world to life, each struggling with their own personal demons. Will you be the manager who helps those around you, or will you use others as stepping stones to success?
This fully voiced, dark comedy is brought to life by its art, vocal performances, and story, written by acclaimed video game writer Jakub Szamałek (Senior Writer of The Witcher 3, Principal Writer of Cyberpunk 2077, and the upcoming The Blood of Dawnwalker). Featuring a cast that includes none other than rockstar Iggy Pop, the game offers branching narratives from a storytelling master, meaning every choice leads to different outcomes that shape the future of your band.
Rockbeasts features over 100 characters to meet and 90 locations to explore, with a full double-feature album’s worth of story to experience. Speaking of double features, the game also includes 17 full tracks for you to play at gigs, performed and mastered exclusively for Rockbeasts.
Every decision you make will impact your band and those around them. Your band members will change over time, and so will your relationship with them. Will you take it easy and collect your weekly paycheck, or will you push these artists to their limits?
In Rockbeasts, the tough choices as a manager are yours. Write your own rockstar legend.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Rock & Roll.
“It’s been a long time coming, but we can finally show off Rockbeasts to the world. Since its initial conception, we knew this game would be different—our take on role-playing management gameplay with a dramedy twist and amazing music. We’ve put our hearts into every detail, and we can’t wait for players to jump in and create their own unforgettable stories. It’s time to party like it’s 1993.”
