What if Fortnite or PUBG were rhythm games?

Yeah, yeah, we get it, your #1 victory royale, winner winner, chicken dinner is very impressive. But what if instead of winning by shooting all your opponents with guns, you won by being the best at music?

Oh, also what if, in this scenario, you and all of your opponents were goofy, head-bouncing pigeons?

Those are the very deep and serious questions that Headbangers: Rhythm Royale seeks to answer. Think of it like Fortnite as a rhythm game, or Fall Guys if it were all about music (and birds). This battle royale pits up to thirty pigeons against each other in a series of rhythm-based minigames to determine who is the number one headbanger.

If that sounds like a nice break from the stress of traditional battle royales, then start stretching your neck to get ready for some hardcore headbanging. Headbangers: Rhythm Royale launches on October 31, 2023 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S. The game will cost $19.99, with a deluxe edition available for $29.99 if you want a DLC season pass and soundtrack.

Of course, birds of a feather must flock together. That's why one of TapTap's editors will be jumping into Headbangers: Rhythm Royale and reporting back with a quick review closer to launch. See you in the skies, feathered friends!
