So it's official developer Harmonix is working on a new Rock Band game coming to the Playstation 4, and the Xbox One by the end of 2015.
I am asking you the reader this question do you think now is the time to bring back Rock Band?
I think that if we are to see the return of the genre the time is now. Rock Band came out in 2007 and was a huge success, but within the span of only 5 years we got a total of 11 games, 18 if you are counting the track packs. That's a lot of games in five years! People hate on Call of Duty for releasing a game every year, but Rock Band was worse. Needless to say the market fell out.
Rock Band Blitz was the last game in the series it came out in 2012 for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. We are now 3 years later. I think that now the series has had some time to rest it's ready to make its return. As long as Harmonix is smart and doesn't go over board with sequels the series may be here for the long haul. What I'm hoping get's done is they release Rock Band 4, and just keep content coming from dlc packs, instead of releasing a new game ever year. The current crop of consoles are currently lacking in fun party games. Having a game like Rock Band coming back is a great thing for these new consoles. I have had so many of my friends in the past who were not interested so much in gaming look at Rock Band and having a blast with the game.
So far details for the new game are sparse. What we do know is it is coming to PlayStation 4 ,and Xbox One, by the end of this year. Chances are very high for a holiday release. The game will let you use your previous dlc from the other Rock Band games, as well as your old accessories.
It's time to dust off those plastic guitars and warm up those vocal cords Rock Band is back!
