Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical, a creative and ambitious attempt to fuse musical theater with interactive fiction, debuted last August, but it won’t be the last time fans get to experience Greek mythology in a modern way. There will be a chance. Announced today at LudoNarraCon, the game’s DLC is called Stray Gods: Orpheus, which follows the titular character through a new adventure. Check out the reveal trailer below.
Orpheus (played by rent star Anthony Rapp) appeared in the base game, but only briefly, so this expansion will give players a better idea of ​​his backstory and personality. Hermes (played by Erika Ishii) is also featured in the trailer, though his exact role in the DLC is not clarified. The nearly two-hour-long experience features six new interactive tracks and features some returning songwriters, including Austin Wintry, Simon Hall, and Montagne, but also features comedian Tom Cardy. .
As for the plot, the following excerpt from a press release tells what to expect. “When the curtain falls and the show is over, who do you go home as?” it reads. “Choose to reject, embrace or rewrite the stories the world expects of you. Is the mortal world ready for the return of ancient Greece’s most infamous bard?”
Stray Gods: Orpheus hits PC on June 27, with a console release date “coming soon.” For more Wandering Gods, check out our feature on how it was made. For more Greek mythology, visit our Hades II coverage hub for this month’s exclusive coverage.
