LEAD YOUR BAND TO STARDOM IN ROCKBEASTS

THE NEW BAND-MANAGEMENT NARRATIVE RPG STARTS TOURING IN 2025

February 24th 2025 –  Lichthund and Team17 Digital are proud to announce their new game. Band-management story-driven RPG: Rockbeasts.



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, taking on the task of raising a struggling rock band from their beginnings, trading couch-surfing for crowd-surfing. Will you stay true to your art? Or will you sellout for fortune and fame? The choices you make as a manager will have profound and lasting impacts on your members.

Pick the venue, prep the set and make sure it all goes according to plan. Pull it off and the band might just finally take those first steps to fame and glory. Sure, this one was in a grimy basement, but even the rock legends had to start somewhere, right?

Experience the characters that bring this world to life, struggling with their own personal demons. Will you be the manager who helps those around you, or uses others as the stepping stone to success?

This fully voiced, dark comedy is brought to life by the 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) and voices including none other than the rockstar himself, Iggy Pop. Branching narratives from a storytelling master means you’ll have to make meaningful choices and experience a whole different outcome for the future of your band.

Rockbeasts features over 100 characters to meet and 90 locations for you to explore, in a full double feature album’s-worth of story to be told. Speaking of double-features, the game also includes 17 full tracks for you to play at your gigs, performed and mastered just for Rockbeasts.

Each of your choices will impact your band and those around them. Your band members will change in time and so will your relationship with your band. Will you lay back and collect your weekly paycheck, or push these artists to their limits?

In Rockbeasts, the tough choices as 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.” – Rafal & Bartek, Lichthund.
