A few years back there was this game on Facebook called SongPop that everyone that I knew were playing; you had to guess what song it was based on the clues given. To be honest, I wasn’t the best at it however, it opened my eyes up to some music that I didn’t know existed (that really shows my age!)
Regardless, coming back for another round FreshPlanet announced today that they are bringing out SongPop 2 later this year! Like the original, it will be available on all mobile devices and including access to it on Facebook. The title of the game builds on “Name that Tune” foundation as the first SongPop originally did however, it will have new content, new ways to play, more songs, and more!
The biggest improvement is a play mode called Party Mode; its a tournament style mode that will allow players to test their skills without needing their opponent to bust a move and lets them engage with songs that they’ve unlocked outside of their list.
Players will compete in a series of ten question music trivia quizzes; each one adding to their global leaderboard score! When the party’s over the winner will receive coins, power ups, and even VIP badges!
On top of FreshPlanet updating their song lists, they’ve also added in a new pack of six playlists of 200 songs each every week which will be free to try. New users will start with six playlists, personalized to their own taste and returning players can sync their accounts to find all of their unlocked and purchased playlists from the original game waiting for them to brush off their song trivia in SongPop 2.
“We were thrilled to see how many people were playing SongPop over the years,” said FreshPlanet CEO, Mathieu Nouzareth. “I think of SongPop 2 as a love letter to our community. We listened to their feedback, and now we’re using it to design a game that expands on everything they loved about the original – plus a fresh new look and a ton of extra surprises.”
In addition to bringing out SongPop 2, FreshPlanet are also going to bring out a spin off called Rock On – A SongPop Adventure; a single player music trivia adventure game where they go on tour with a band; answering questions about the greatest hits of rock ‘n roll through the ages!
Looking into the near future, SongPop 2 will be available to download on the Apple App Store, Facebook, and Google Play. Rock On will be exclusive to the Apple App Store. Launch dates for both games will be revealed at a later date!
