Turn-Based RPG Musical People of Note Announces Voice Cast and Switch 2 Version

From Iridium Studios and Annapurna Interactive, People of Note, a turn-based tactical RPG, has announced that it will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. You can take a look at a new musical number from the game below.

Initially unveiled on the Xbox Wire blog, the full cast list and a look at the characters that will take place in this musical adventure were unveiled. Full list of the characters and who will be playing them are below:

• Cadence - Played by Heather Gonzalez (Talking) / LEXXE (Singing)

  • Cadence is the pop star protagonist. After being shut out of the Noteworthy Song Contest, Cadence realizes that her solo act might not be enough for the judges! As she sets off to form her band, she quickly gets caught up in events far grander, and more dangerous, than she could have possibly imagined.

    
    

• Fret - Played by Jason Charles Miller

  • Fret is the old guy who’s seen it all, and a prototypical classic rocker. He misses his old band, and lives a solo act kind of life in Durandis, the Kingdom of Rock and Roll.

• Synthia - Played by Erika Ishii (Talking) / Amanda Angeles (Singing)

  • Synthia is the introverted extrovert. Normally quiet and reclusive around even their closest friends, this DJ sheds that persona when they get in front of the one’s and two’s; though they harbor doubts about whether or not they really deserve their renown.

• Vox - Played by Mansa "Wakil" Wakili

  • Vox is living in his mother's shadow. The son of Caliq, the regent of Pyre, he’s calm, logical, and thinks rap music should be about more than battling…but he’ll learn that sometimes, you need to fight to protect what you love.

• Cerrin - Played by Marwan Salama

  • Cerrin’s a bit of a dork, polite and respectful, but there’s a buried part of him that doesn’t mind bending the rules for a good cause.

• Arc - Played by Alex Boniello

  • On the outside, Arc is smart, flirtatious at times, and resentful of any sort of injustice. On the inside, he bears the emotional scars of his upbringing as an unorthodox prodigy in an oppressive environment. Always with just a hint of a smirk, Arc always knows a little more than he’s letting on.

• Sharp - Played by Joe Zieja

  • Fantastically egotistical and snobby, Sharp believes that 80s music, and his music in particular, is what all music should be. He’s transparently fake, a “man of the people” who can’t stand the people. And as the manager of Smolder, Chordia’s hottest boy band, he seems to have some ulterior motives…

• Anthony - Played by Griffin Burns

  • The front man of Smolder, Chordia’s top charting boy band. He’s the most recognizable figure in pop;. handsome, self-assured, and weirdly oblivious, he also happens to be holder of the Chordian Key of Note, a very interesting artifact but for him, it’s just an accessory to his outfit really.

• Lasso - Played by Sean Kenin Elias-Reyes (Talking) / Drew Rider Smith (Singing)

  • Lasso is the rough-and-tumble leader of the Homestead, nation of country music. A convincing leader with a commanding presence, Lasso doesn’t necessarily enjoy violence, but he understands that sometimes you just don’t have a choice.

• Martell - Played by Debra Wilson

  • Martell is the Homestead’s second in command, and a fearsome foe in her own right. A mature woman, Martell takes her country roots seriously. Beautiful and dangerous, she wields Homestead politeness like a sharpened scalpel–her family motto is “Bless Your Heart”.

• Annette - Played by Erica Lindbeck (Talking) / Elizabeth Zharoff (Singing)

  • The diva of all divas, Annette is the lead performer in the Archaia Grand Opera, an institution older than most nations’ full histories. While one of the most musically talented singers in all of Note, she’d never dream of taking the stage without her lucky pearls in hand!

Why We're Excited

People of Note sounds incredible. Much like Stray Gods a few years ago, there should be way more games that act as musicals. Having this also be a turn-based RPG is the perfect cherry on top and music to my ears.
