Team17 Digital and Glee-Cheese have announced the rhythm-based battle royale game Headbangers: Rhythm Royale during the Future Games Show earlier this month. Bringing musical minigame madness consoles and PC later this year, Headbangers: Rhythm Royale challenges players to take on 29 other player-controlled pigeons across four increasingly tense rounds, testing their memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and most importantly their ability to rap!

- Peck and earn breadcrumbs: Challenges and unlockable customizations await in the free in-game battle pass, with players able to spend their hard-earned crumbs to help them be the most stylish pigeon in the flock
- Cross-flock support: Play with up to 29 other pigeons with crossplay enabled, friends and frenemies alike can battle in musical madness regardless of their gaming platform of choice
