You can grab it today from the Xbox Store for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S (fully optimised for new-gen and coming with Smart Deliver in tow), as well as on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC.Rock Band 4 developer Harmonix and peripherals manufacturer Mad Catz have detailed the existing instruments that will be compatible with the upcoming series revival. If you’re looking to scratch a musical itch or just want to pound your opponents into submission, God of Rock should cover both bases.

The Universe is Your Stage – Control 12 wildly different characters each with their own playstyle across 8 dynamic stages set across the universe.

Over 40 Original Songs – Each with their own unique and challenging tracks to master.

Limitless Skill Ceiling – Tracks will continue to scale in difficulty until only one fighter remains.

Battle to the Beat – Engage in over-the-top musical battles in this competitive rhythm-based fighter.

From there, forty original songs build out the key features list… Various game modes hold this all together, with a Story Mode, Training Mode, online and local Multiplayer modes and a Track Editor all available.

With complexity building as the action and music ramp, this could well be a super intense fighter, powered by super intense tunes.

Pulling off blows should be a cinch, as we hit buttons to match notes on-screen, slowly pounding away until the Super Attack comes in. Multiple fighters await the battle in God of Rock, each with their own designs, mechanics and attack systems. Think Guitar Hero crossed with Tekken and you’ll be a million miles away, but it’s the best we can muster up at this time. God of Rock feels fairly unique – our upcoming full review will let you know just how so – as it combines the age-old rhythm-based moments with even older fighting game mechanics.
