Asking Alexandria singer Danny Worsnop has joined the video game Of Bird And Cage, which is currently under development. The frontman will be performing the vocal parts for the character Ari, who is in a romantic relationship with the game's protagonist Gitta, voiced by Kobra Paige from Kobra And The Lotus.
The game is described as “the first rock/metal album completely produced as a story-driven narrative video game and it aspires to establish a new gaming genre of interactive musicals.”
The project also features musicians like ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and former Evanescence drummer Rocky Gray, plus members of Epica, Within Temptation and other acts.
Worsnop, whose vocal parts have already been recorded, said about his involvement, “We've had a lot of fun making this — it's an entirely new approach, an entirely new concept, and a way to absorb the video game platform that I believe you guys are going to enjoy.”
While there is no official release date for Of Bird And Cage yet, publisher Capricia Productions says it should be available by early 2021 on Xbox, PlayStation, Steam and Switch.
