Monday, 12th June 2023 – Team17 Digital and Glee-Cheese have announced rhythm-based battle royale game Headbangers Rhythm Royale during Saturday’s Future Games Show. Bringing musical minigame madness to PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Microsoft Store, Headbangers Rhythm Royale challenges players to take on 29 other player-controlled pigeons across four increasingly tense rounds, testing their memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and most importantly … their ability to rap!
Featuring crossplay enabled multiplayer, no pigeon is too near (or too far) to join in on the Headbangers Rhythm Royale fun. Regardless of their platform of choice, players can fly in for some melodic minigame madness with their feathered – and un-feathered – friends*. No pigeon can take to the dancefloor without some perfunctory pruning, and players will have to battle their way through the rounds, collecting delicious (if slightly stale) breadcrumbs that grant access to a wardrobe bursting full of outfits, customisations, and taunts to rub their hard-earned victory in everyone’s beaks.
*Team17 Digital and Glee-Cheese do not endorse actual birds playing Headbangers Rhythm Royale. They would be too good, realise their unlimited power, and set their sights on world domination…
