Melbourne-based Summerfall Studios and publishing partner Humble Games have announced the release date for Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (previously Chorus), and debuted a brand-new trailer. The game is slated to launch for PC on August 3rd, 2023.
The news comes following a live event that took place today, hosted by Troy Baker – who has a voice role in the game on top of acting as Voice Director – and showcasing some of the incredible talent behind this project, as well as the sheer effort and ingenuity that’s gone into producing the game’s pivotal musical numbers driven by player choice and narrative outcomes.
Stray Gods follows the story of Grace (played by Laura Bailey), a college dropout that finds herself granted the otherworldly powers of a Muse after the untimely death of a friend – only to find herself on the hook for it and desperately trying to clear her name before the Greek gods themselves. The game features an all-star cast that includes Baker and Bailey, as well as Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, Felicia Day, Rahul Kohli and many more incredibly impressive names.
The game’s Creative Director, David Gaider is a Bioware veteran and was the Lead Writer on Dragon Age, and on composing duty is the Grammy-nominated Austin Wintory of Journey fame, promising a rich musical experience with involvement from some great homegrown talent like Tripod and Montaigne to boot.
