The new and improved Map of Metal v2 will be live in Rock Kommander next week. This major update changes how players experience genre progression and adds a deeper, more strategic path through the world of rock and metal.

Discover Genre-Based Routes

With 50 new sub-genres now available, the Map of Metal lets you explore unique stages, styles, and challenges inspired by the roots of your favorite music. The five main genres—Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Punk, and Blues Rock—each branch into 10 sub-genres. The farther you go from the main node, the more difficult the challenge becomes.

Build Bands for Every Sub-Genre

To progress through each stage, you’ll need to form bands that match specific genre affinities. Nodes with no requirement allow any band to play. But when a genre requirement appears, only bands that match that style can enter the fight. When you select a band, the game now displays how its genre compares to the node’s requirement, helping you choose wisely.

Strategy, Rewards, and Progression

Every mini-campaign ends with a bonus. After the final battle, you’ll get your regular post-fight loot, followed by an extra reward for completing the node. This new layer of strategy encourages you to form the right team and play to each genre’s strengths.

The original Main Tour remains unchanged. If you haven’t completed it yet, your progress carries over. Players who already passed the Main Tour will restart at its end, resetting any progress made in genre-specific nodes. This ensures everyone can dive into the new structure on equal footing.

Claim New Loot and Push Further

This update also brings fresh loot linked to each sub-genre path. With new music styles, increased difficulty, and higher rewards, Map of Metal v2 invites you to dive deeper than ever before.
