Publisher Acclaim and developer Ridiculous Games have announced GRIDbeat!, a new rhythm action dungeon crawler game.

GRIDbeat! is set to launch for Windows PC (via Steam) and unspecified consoles sometime in 2026.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:

Welcome to GRIDbeat! A rhythm-fueled cyber-dungeon crawler where every move must match the music or risk total system shutdown.

You just breached Knoss.OS, the planet’s most fortified corporate network, and made off with a payload of priceless data. Now you’re trapped inside, hunted by rogue security protocols and hostile malware. Your only way out? Sync with the system. Move to the beat. And escape before the grid locks you down for good.

• Evolving Abilities & Power-Ups – Install powerful software tools to help you overcome system threats, uncover secrets and solve challenges.
• Cyber.Mind Boss Battles – Defeat powerful AI gatekeepers in intense beat-based battles to continue your journey and reach the final exit port out of the Mainframe.
