Overview
- Press previews describe a party-based, turn-based RPG from Iridium Studios and Annapurna Interactive that binds story, UI, and combat to musical performance.
- Combat uses time signatures to govern actions per turn, dynamic tracks that shift with the active character, optional rhythm inputs, and team-up "mash-up" attacks.
- The narrative follows pop singer Cadence recruiting across rival genre regions, with early bandmates including rocker Fret and later additions teased like EDM DJ Synthia and rapper Vox.
- Developers cite a small-team, multi‑year effort—five to seven years with roughly 15 people at peak—and inspirations from Final Fantasy IX/X, Chrono Cross, and The World Ends With You.
- A 2026 release is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, while one preview alone reports an April 7 date and a Nintendo Switch 2 version; the same preview says a demo will be in Steam Next Fest starting Feb. 23.
