Rock Band developer Harmonix has said it won’t get involved in another retail arms race as happened between 2005 and 2010, a period which saw more than 30 different music games launch.
“It’s no secret that the band game space became really crowded,” Harmonix product manager Eric Pope told MCV. “It was a lot to keep up with, so some fans rather understandably needed a break.
“We have no intention in engaging in a retail arms race this time around. The current state of consoles is exciting for us, as it gives us an opportunity to deliver on the ‘Rock Band Platform’ ambitions we’ve always had for the game.
“It’s much easier today to build and grow a single game, adding new features and content along the way, pivoting based on player feedback and trends.”
Rock Band will launch for Xbox One and PS4 later this year, and could go up against the rumoured return of Activision’s Guitar Hero franchise.
