Mixtape is a music-driven narrative adventure developed by Beethoven & Dinosaur, scheduled for release in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The game follows three friends spending one final night together as high school comes to an end, with the story structured as a collection of memories presented in the style of a mixtape. Drawing on visual novel conventions, it frames its episodic vignettes around a generational soundtrack, using music as a central storytelling device rather than incidental accompaniment. The result is a coming-of-age experience organized around the emotional arc of a group at the edge of a significant life transition. Each segment functions as a distinct memory, evoking the feeling of revisiting a carefully assembled playlist tied to a formative period.
En route to their final party together, a perfectly-curated playlist draws them into dreamlike reenactments of their formative memories. Experience a variety of narrative vignettes exploring the pivotal moments that shaped them. It's the greatest hits of teenage friendship, from the first kiss to the last dance.
