God of Rock release date set for April, new trailer

Today, Modus Games revealed a final release date for God of Rock. The rhythm-fighting game hybrid is heading to Switch on April 28, 2023.

God of Rock was first announced in August. The game was previously slated for the winter, so it seems that the title is seeing a slight delay.

Here’s some information about the game:

Face off against your opponents as one of the universe’s greatest talents, and with the power of your righteous beats, blast them into orbit. You and your enemy will engage in a match just like in any other fighting game, but the actual battle will be driven by rhythm game mechanics. Follow the prompts scrolling across the screen, spurred on by music that’s been dictated by the stage and characters selected, to unleash attacks on your foe.

As battles continue and health bars wear down, the beat will pick up. Keep up with the music, or your attacks will miss their mark. In these fights, the one who loses their groove first will be the one to fall. Special and Ultra attacks must be utilized to their fullest extent to take control of the fight. You’re not a background musician – you’re the lead artist.

God of Rock’s release date news is accompanied by a brand-new overview trailer showcasing the game’s unique blend of fighting and rhythmic gameplay. You can catch that below.
