This Musical RPG's Not Going to Appeal to Everyone, But We're Moving It to the Top of Our PS5 Wishlist

There have been a few musical RPGs before. The likes of Stray Gods springs to mind – or, heck, even Eternal Sonata to an extent.

But People of Note, the upcoming PS5 adventure from Iridium and Annapurna, has really caught our attention.

This isn’t going to be for everyone, and you’ll know within the first 20-seconds of the trailer whether you’re the target audience – but y’know what, we’re all-in.

Here’s the official blurb, straight from the PS Store:

“In this turn-based RPG musical, join Cadence as she recruits an ensemble of musicians on her quest for stardom. Experience turn-based combat like never before, where each battle is a musical performance with evolving combat conditions and genre-bending mashup attacks!”

Voice actress Heather Gonzalez will play Cadence, but her vocals will be handled by real-life popstar LEXXE.

Obviously, these songs are going to need to be good to carry the battle system through a full campaign, but we remain optimistic about the prospect.

If nothing else, this is a really brilliant idea.
