Rock Band 4 is announced by Harmonix for later this year!

Get ready to rock!! Harmonix has just officially announced the upcoming release of Rock Band 4! With a release set for later this year, Rock Band 4 will be released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This new game will introduce Rock Band to a new generation of gamers but will not turn its back on its older fans. Gamers will be able to use their pre-existing instruments and will have access to all of the DLC (downloadable content) that they have purchased in the past; like new songs.

"Rock Band 4 brings the critically-acclaimed franchise to a new generation of consoles, focusing on the features and gameplay that people love, and expanding the franchise in innovative ways that were informed by how fans play and what they want. 

“With Rock Band 4, we’re doubling down on the energy and excitement of playing music live with your friends,” says Harmonix Chief Executive Officer Steve Janiak. “Focusing on the core experience that our fans have told us they love allows us to evolve established gameplay in meaningful ways that we can’t wait to share with everyone later this year.” 

“We couldn’t be happier to be working with Harmonix and help bring the band back together for the launch of Rock Band 4,” added Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz. “Harmonix possesses unrivalled passion and vision for music gaming and we can’t wait to introduce the next generation music platform to passionate gamers.” 

Harmonix will reveal to its fans more details about exciting new features of Rock Band 4 this coming May."
