RedOctane has released a new trailer for its upcoming rhythm title Stage Tour, confirming a release date of 10th December 2026 for the Switch 2.

Rocking out to Mötley Crüe’s Kickstart Your Heart, the trailer is a perfect reminder of just how awesome Guitar Hero was at its peak, and we’re sincerely hoping this new title can recapture some of that magic.

Pricing has also been confirmed. While you can grab the game on its own for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, RedOctane is offering a couple of options if you want to expand your experience with various instruments.

  • Stage Tour Kramer Guitar & Game Bundle – $129.99 USD / €139.99 / £119.99
  • Stage Tour Band Kit + Game Bundle – $299.99 USD / €314.99 / £269.99

It’s worth noting that, at least at launch, the drum kit won’t be compatible with the Switch 2. Here’s the official statement:
