Songbird Is A VR Karaoke Game From Former Guitar Hero Devs

Songbird, the upcoming VR karaoke game, confirmed a December launch on Quest.

Developed by Always Blue Games, whose leader Marcus Henderson previously worked on Guitar Hero, Songbird tasks you with performing across various stages to bring harmony to the world of Nestopia. “Engage with this vibrant world filled with catchables, companions, rhythmic multipliers, dancing and interactive elements to accompany your quest,” states the studio on the Horizon Store page.

The launch soundtrack includes 33 different songs across various genres, and each stage can be played across three different difficulty levels using the Quest’s integrated microphone.
