The dance-off intensifies as Glee-Cheese and Team17 Digital gear up to release Season Three, 'Battle of the Dancers', for Headbangers Rhythm Royale across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on April 4th.

Battle of the Dancers includes a brand-new game mode that challenges players to put their best talon forward in a one-on-one rhythm battle and includes a selection of new choreography and tracks. The new mode will test players ability to stay on the beat, utilising various powerups to grant them the edge over their feathered nemesis as songs get progressively more challenging, until finally, one pigeon fails and the survivor reigns victorious.

Headbangers Rhythm Royale invites players to tap, flap, and rap their way to victory in a series of manic musical mini games against up to 29 other player-controlled pigeons, battling their way to become Master Headbanger. Featuring cross-platform multiplayer, no pigeon is too near (or too far) to join in the medley of minigames, with players memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and (obviously) their ability to rap being put to the test across 23 unique challenges.
