The Guitar Hero series may be dead and gone, but in its place comes a new game called Stage Tour, and it’s made by the latest evolution of the same studio, RedOctane, that created Guitar Hero.
At Gamescom this summer, the studio announced that the game will have 90+ songs on its setlist and revealed the release date: December 10. Not all of the songs have been announced yet, but the first 61 have been unveiled, and the tracks are really solid, spanning numerous genres and eras of music.
A critical component of any good music games is its tracklist, and the Embracer-owned RedOctane Games has announced the first 61 tunes for Stage Tour. In total, there will be 90+ songs in the game.
The officially licensed setlist includes songs from a range of genres, and features big-name bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, and Ghost. And of course, there is Smash Smash’s “All Star,” which is forever connected to the animated classic Shrek.
The next wave of songs for Stage Tour will be revealed on October 21, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Just like Guitar Hero and Rock Band before it, Stage Tour allows players to group up or play music solo on guitar, drums, keyboard, and vocals.
In terms of peripherals, players can buy a specially designed guitar controller made in partnership with Gibson’s Kramer, along with a modulator guitar kit. Additionally, Stage Tour features in-game guitars from Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer, including the iconic Gibson SG.
