Team17 Digital (@Team17) and Glee-Cheese (@GleeCheese) confirmed that their rhythm-based battle royale game Headbangers Rhythm Royale will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC and Microsoft Store later this year. The game features musical minigames that will test your skills.

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 cross-play 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, customizations, 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…

Headbangers Rhythm Royale Features:

• Ruffle feathers: Memory, rhythm, reflexes, and reaction times will be put to the test across 23 minigames, each with their own unique musical twist
  
  
• Preen away: With hundreds of unique items to choose from, including full outfits, hats, glasses, voices, and taunts, players can take the top spot and fluff their feathers with their very own personalised pigeon
  
  
• Peck and earn breadcrumbs: Challenges and unlockable customisations await in the free in-game battle pass, with players able to spend their hard-earned crumbs to help them be the most stylish pigeon in the flock
  
  
• Cross-flock support: Play with up to 29 other pigeons with crossplay enabled, friends and frenemies alike can battle in musical madness regardless their gaming platform of choice
  
  
• Talon tapping music: With unique scores across each minigame, loading screen, and pigeon accessory menu, the party never stops with the bespoke scores written and created by the Glee-Cheese team.
