Harmonix on Rock Band: "Maybe people are ready for it again"

Harmonix have responded to questions about a potential Rock Band 4, stating that continued fan interest has them considering returning to the series.

Nick Chester, Harmonix PR & Communication Lead, responded during an interview with Forbes that "there are literally hundreds of thousands of unique people still playing the game monthly... there's a hardcore base of players still actively interested in this game."

"I recently went to the GameStop Manager's Conference to show off Fantasia in September, and people are like ‘Hey man people are asking us about Rock Band all the time. When are you bringing it back?' If people are hearing that at retail, maybe there's something going on. Maybe people are ready for it again," he continued.

"We love Rock Band, it's in the company's DNA. We own the IP. And when the time's right we will absolutely come back to it. There's a whole bunch of factors to take into consideration before jumping in that pool again, but there's a desire for it, absolutely."
