"Stage Tour is our love letter to rhythm gaming. We want Stage Tour to feel familiar and authentic, but also fresh, utilizing modern technology to connect gamers with the music they love and enjoying a platform that evolves and grows over time. With new instruments and deep charting systems, we're raising the bar on what we believe a rhythm game can be, while also catering to those wishing to simply enjoy a casual experience and have a good time."
"RedOctane says Stage Tour will work with a variety of input options, including PC keyboards, and will feature songs with note charts that change depending on not just the difficulty you pick but what controller you use. The company has a deal with Gibson already lined up to offer Gibson-branded in-game guitars, similar to what was seen in Guitar Hero back in the day."
RedOctane, a studio formed by veteran developers from the original Guitar Hero games, announced Stage Tour, a new rhythm game launching later this year. The studio previously created a plastic guitar controller compatible with Fortnite Festival, Rock Band, and Clone Hero, and has teased a drum kit controller. Stage Tour will support multiple input options including keyboards and plastic instruments, featuring dynamic note charts that adapt based on difficulty and controller type. The game includes Gibson-branded in-game guitars and aims to balance authentic rhythm gaming with casual accessibility. Alpha testing begins summer 2026, with full release planned for fall 2026 on PC and multiple consoles.
