Press release:
Thursday, 4th April 2024.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and France-based indie games developer Glee-Cheese, are today very happy and excited to announce that season 3 of their rhythm-based battle royale game “Headbangers“, is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores.

Battle of the Dancers, the new game mode available as part of season three, challenges players to put their best talon forward in a one-on-one rhythm battle and includes a selection of new choreography and tracks.

The new mode will test players ability to stay on the beat, utilising various powerups to grant them the edge over their feathered nemesis as songs get progressively more challenging, until finally, one pigeon fails and the survivor reigns victorious. Also available as part of season three for Headbangers Rhythm Royale, the ‘Feeling Peckish’ pack serves up a selection of delicious costumes, garments, taunts, and more for players to customise their pigeon and dazzle the competition.

Headbangers Rhythm Royale invites players to tap, flap, and rap their way to victory in a series of manic musical mini games against up to 29 other player-controlled pigeons, battling their way to become Master Headbanger. Featuring cross-platform multiplayer, no pigeon is too near (or too far) to join in the medley of minigames, with players memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and (obviously) their ability to rap being put to the test across 24 unique challenges.

Headbangers Rhythm Royale Key Features:

· Ruffle feathers: Memory, rhythm, reflexes, and reaction times will be put to the test across 24 minigames, each with their own unique musical twist

· Preen away: With hundreds of unique items to choose from, including full outfits, hats, glasses, voices, and taunts, players can take the top spot and fluff their feathers with their very own personalised pigeon

· Peck and earn breadcrumbs: Challenges and unlockable customisations await in the 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 cross play enabled, friends and frenemies alike can battle in musical madness regardless their gaming platform of choice

· Talon tapping music: With unique scores across each minigame, loading screen, and pigeon accessory menu, the party never stops with the bespoke scores written and created by the Glee-Cheese team.
