Guitar Hero Veterans Unveil Stage Tour, Targeting Fall Launch With Alpha This Spring

RedOctane pitches a community-driven rhythm platform backed by a Gibson partnership with first‑party instruments planned.

Overview

  • RedOctane announced Stage Tour for PC via Steam and a wide range of consoles with a fall 2026 launch window, with specific platforms to be detailed later.
  • A closed alpha is slated for late spring or early summer, with sign-ups set to open soon.
  • The game features an official Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer partnership that brings branded instruments and designs into play.
  • First‑party controllers are planned, including a Kramer‑modeled guitar bundle, a new drum kit likely arriving before launch, and wired or wireless microphones, with support for up to four players and standard inputs.
  • Stage Tour is framed as a live service with seasonal events and competitive progression, and it will launch digitally only as the team considers a future physical edition.
