Gilligames revealed this week that their music industry simulator Rising Star 2 will be coming to Steam in Q3 2020. The game serves as a sequel to the original 2007 game, which did pretty well back in the day. In this version, you take on the role of a fully customizable rookie musician as you try to turn yourself into a rock star overnight. The sequel introduces a more immersive 3D world while still maintaining the RPG style of the original system. You can read more about it below, as we wait for them to release more details and footage of the game. As well as a proper release date.
