RedOctane Games Reveals Stage Tour Rhythm Game

RedOctane Games has announced Stage Tour, a new rhythm game with “familiar, accessible note-highway gameplay” coming to consoles and PC via Steam in fall 2026. Stage Tour will feature a partnership with Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer brands, and closed Alpha testing is being planned for this summer. 

Here’s an overview of the game, via the official Steam page:

Stage Tour is a rhythm-action game designed to blend familiar and accessible note-highway gameplay with new and exciting modern twists. Stage Tour is poised to rekindle the flame of plastic-instrument rhythm gaming with numerous new features and game modes, dozens of bandmates and instruments to fit your unique style, a deep competitive spine, and an extensive roadmap of seasonal content and live events.

BUILD YOUR BAND: Chase the top score by unlocking unique bandmates, each with their own look, attitude, and stage presence. Choose from multiple variants to match your band’s personality, assign members to Lead, Groove, Drums, or Vocals.

PICK YOUR STYLE: Customize your lineup with official Gibson guitar and bass designs. As you play, your band evolves with you. Mix and match characters to create a lineup that feels uniquely yours, whether rocking solo or jamming with up to four players.

OWN THE STAGE: Push your skills, master every note, and conquer every challenge. Rise through the ranks to unlock legendary rewards, exclusive content, and permanent bragging rights.

Stage Tour is built with the community at its core, helping shape its future. Expect detailed feature reveals and deeper breakdowns in the months ahead.

A new era starts here.
