Five House and Deathbulge have confirmed that Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands will hit PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 30, 2026.
The chaotic RPG is already available on PC via Steam, GOG and itch.io, and it is finally ready to take its absurd musical mayhem to consoles.
A Cursed Competition With Killer Style
In Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands, you play as Faye, Ian and Briff, three dysfunctional friends who accidentally enter a cursed battle of the bands where every group fights with literal music attacks.
Kick down doors, crash into houses and cause trouble like every RPG protagonist does, but with far more style.
Nine Music Classes, Endless Chaos
Customization is the heart of the game. Players can build their band using nine music‑themed classes, each with unique perks and flashy moves:
- Inspire allies as a Busker
- Melt faces as a Headbanger
- Mix and match to create the most unhinged trio possible
Every class changes how your band fights, looks and survives the deadly competition.
Turn‑Based Combat With a Real‑Time Twist
The combat system blends turn‑based strategy with real‑time effects, focusing heavily on what happens between turns.
The developers proudly note that after a year on PC, no one has found another RPG that works quite like it.
What Makes This RPG Stand Out
- 15 to 20 hours of gameplay
- A romance segment near the finale
- A Battle Jacket system where sewing band logos grants combat buffs
- No random encounters and three field skills to avoid enemies
- A unique item system where you collect MERCH instead of potions, powered by a shared STOCK resource
- An energetic original soundtrack that will have you shouting “SIIICK”
- A world full of colorful NPCs with evolving dialogue
- Items with personality, like Barry Friendly’s Tea, served by local weirdos
A Loud, Weird, Stylish RPG Ready for Its Console Debut
Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is a love letter to chaotic humor, experimental combat and loud, unapologetic style.
With its console release set for June 30, 2026, even more players will soon be able to join the most dangerous music competition ever created.
