RedOctane Games, a new studio dedicated to advancing the rhythm game genre, has officially launched. Founded by seasoned developers from Guitar Hero and DJ Hero, alongside new talent, the studio is focused on combining the past with the future.
The team includes former Vicarious Visions studio head Simon Ebejer, who led production on several Guitar Hero titles, as well as special advisory board members Charles and Kai Huang, co-creators of Guitar Hero. RedOctane Games aims to give back to the genre that means so much to its founders while pushing it forward in new directions.
The studio’s first rhythm-based game is expected to be announced later this year, with community-built development at its core. Players will be involved from day one, ensuring a collaborative creative journey. “Rhythm games are about feel, flow, and connection to the music and each other,” said Ebejer, emphasizing RedOctane Games’ mission to advance the genre.
