Lichthund has announced a partnership with Critical Role for the upcoming title Rockbeasts. This collaboration involves both publishing and creative contributions, aiming to elevate the game beyond its original scope. The developers emphasize that the project is a rock and roll management RPG, born from their personal experiences and passion for music rather than a specific genre formula.
In Rockbeasts, players assume the role of a band manager tasked with guiding a group from humble garage beginnings to massive arenas. The gameplay involves managing resources, navigating the volatile egos of band members, and handling unexpected crises. The developers describe the experience as a chaotic, sentiment-driven journey that defies traditional algorithmic categorization.
A significant addition to the project is the inclusion of Matthew Mercer and Sam Riegel, who have officially joined the game's cast. The developers state that these performers bring essential energy, chaos, and soul to the characters, which is vital for managing such an unpredictable band. This creative input is intended to ensure the game reaches its full potential.
Rockbeasts is scheduled for release on PS5 in January 2027. Interested players can currently add the title to their wishlists to prepare for the upcoming launch.
