START A BAND. ROCK THE WORLD.
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.
“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.
STILL THE MOST MUSIC. PERIOD.
In addition to the on-disc soundtrack, Rock Band 4 will support
over 2000 tracks released since the 2007 launch of the original
Rock Band, accounting for more than 500 of rock music’s most
legendary artists.
“Since the beginning, we’ve called Rock Band a music platform.
Players responded by downloading hundreds of their favorite
tracks, and building a massive library of playable music,” says
Rock Band 4 Product Manager Daniel Sussman. “It’s important for
us to respect those purchases and enable our fans to bring that
content over to the Rock Band platform on new generation
consoles.”
Players who’ve purchased or downloaded playable tracks on
last-generation consoles will be able to download and play those
tracks on their new platforms at no additional charge*. Hundreds
of tracks will be available at launch, with more back catalog
music – and new tracks – to be added regularly after launch.
Rock Band 4 will be available later this year. For more
information, please click on one of their advertisements.
* The timing of release of “legacy” DLC on next-generation
consoles is to be determined and may be subject to change.
“Legacy” DLC will be downloadable and playable in Rock Band 4
only after the DLC is released on next-generation consoles.
