K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut lets you become a K-pop group’s manager
K-pop Idol management sim launches July 16th
PQube and Wisageni Studio have announced that K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut will release on July 16.
The K-pop Idol management sim is launching both physically and digitally on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, as well as digitally on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
In addition, a newly updated demo is available right now on Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
The title invites players to recruit and manage their dream K-pop group on their journey to debut — a behind-the-scenes process those well into K-pop culture and fandom are pretty knowledgeable about.
The game lets players get a taste of life as a K-pop Idol manager, navigating the unpredictable challenges of the industry. There’s scouting talent, managing schedules, choosing outfits, planning social media, and organizing the perfect album.
Players can choose from eight unique trainees, from Minji to Ai. The lineup and skillset of your group is in your hands.
As the manager, it is your job to balance stamina, finances, and workload. Moreover, the bonds you build shape every outcome. Decisions influence how each character perceives you, unlocking new encounters, storylines, and endings.
K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut also features exclusive music and special vocal tracks for your group’s debut, produced just for the game. In between, there are mini-games which also contribute to your success as a manager.
As players wait for the game’s release next month, the new demo offers French, German, and Spanish localization, new interactions between trainees, and improved graphics.
