Summary
December 10, 2026 is the release date for Stage Tour, the new RedOctane rhythm game unveiled in a Gamescom Opening Night Live trailer set to Motley Crue's “Kickstart My Heart.”
Pre-orders are already live on the Stage Tour site, centered on hardware bundles that revive the plastic-instrument format rather than a software-only launch.
A game-and-guitar bundle is discounted to $129.99 before rising to $149.98, while a full band kit with guitar, mic and basic drums is priced at $299.99, with a higher cymbal-equipped option also offered.
The announced setlist includes tracks from Paramore, Metallica and Blink-182, positioning Stage Tour as a nostalgia-driven return to the band-based rhythm genre this holiday season.
With hardware bundles hitting $300, can Stage Tour's roguelite campaign truly revive the plastic instrument craze without triggering another rhythm game market crash?
How will Stage Tour's new modular Gibson controllers overcome the infamous hardware failures that ultimately killed the original rhythm game boom?
