Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, from Australia’s Summerfall Studios, is officially set to launch for PC on 3 August 2023, after several years in development. The news was announced during the ‘Myth & Music’ livestream celebration for the game, which featured an array of stellar live performances from the main cast of the adventure – which includes actors Laura Bailey, Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson, Rahul Kohli, and more.

Also revealed during the livestream showcase was the main plot of the game, detailed in a flashy trailer. While we’ve long known about the game’s main protagonist, Grace, it was revealed that her path through Stray Gods will not be easy.

In the game, she’s accused of the murder of Calliope, a member of the pantheon of the Gods. Subsequently, Grace develops special powers, putting her under extreme scrutiny as she works to wield them with finesse, and clear her name through the power of song.
