HITSTER brings Wacken and Flying Mic demos to SPIEL Essen

Jumbo showcases HITSTER WACKEN and HITSTER FLYING MIC at Hall8 8C110 and a Wacken stage at Galeria GA73.

Jumbo is bringing two contrasting HITSTER games to SPIEL Essen, with demonstrations at its Hall 8 stand, 8C110. HITSTER WACKEN focuses on metal music, while HITSTER FLYING MIC adds speed and reflexes to the series’ music challenges. An additional HITSTER Wacken Stage is listed in the Galeria at stand GA73. The Wacken

edition previously debuted at Wacken Open Air 2026 and contains 308 selected songs, giving festivalgoers and metal fans a dedicated version of the music game. Flying Mic takes a different approach by making quick reactions part of play rather than relying on musical knowledge alone. The October 19 announcement confirms

where visitors can try the games during the fair, rather than announcing that either product first launches on the show’s opening day. Official source. Image credit: Jumbo Games; official HITSTER promotional image via SPIEL Essen.
