Get behind the wheel of your tour bus and go beyond Vinyl City on a worldwide comeback tour, travelling through vibrant new locations to discover rival musicians and communities full of unique musical cultures, including folk music, experimental jazz, rebellious rock, and digital pop stardom. For the bandmates of Bunkbed Junction, this isn’t just a tour: it’s a transformation.

Metronomik is celebrating five years of No Straight Roads this week with the reveal of NSR2's third playable band member: Casey.

As the youngest member of Bunk Bed Junction, Casey is a rockin' new keyboardist who brings a fresh new style to Vinyl City. With unique moves and combos, Casey will be hitting the road in NSR2 to jump on an epic world tour alongside rock stars Mayday and Zuke, as they embark on a global journey to climb the international charts.

“With her love for accessories and patchwork clothing, Casey’s look is a blend of many different influences,” said Daim Dziauddin, Creative Director at Metronomik. “Her fashion reflects where she is as a person, as she begins to explore her identity. And as the youngest member of Bunk Bed Junction, Casey’s story lets us explore the band from a newcomer’s perspective, while making her a keyboardist shows the band’s desire to grow. They are rock at heart, but like many artists, they want to expand their style and explore new techniques.”

Casey is the third playable character to be announced for NSR2, with one final yet-to-be-announced band member still set to join the crew. Each band member will bring their own unique musical styles and combat skills to the stage as they explore diverse music-inspired worlds, battle a new wave of musical megastars and rock their way to stardom.

This week, fans attending PAX West in Seattle can join the celebration with a special Casey-themed photobooth exhibition, where visitors will have the chance to take photos with the newest member of Bunk Bed Junction.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there: Casey will be fully playable at Tokyo Game Show next month, giving players around the world the first opportunity to experience her unique style and gameplay.

“Five years on, NSR still belongs to the fans,” said Wan Hazmer, Game Director and CEO at Metronomik. “Casey opens new musical routes and new ways to play. We cannot wait for everyone to meet her.”

“This anniversary announcement is a thank you to everyone who supported NSR from day one,” said Idir Alexander Ould-Braham, Executive Producer. “NSR2 raises the bar for combat and personality, and showcasing Casey as the third main character is the perfect start.”
