‘Rock Band’ has been releasing weekly DLC for 8 years… but everything has an end

Do you remember ‘Rock Band’? Yes, that game you got obsessed with and for a while it became an unavoidable appointment to play with your friends every week. The same one. Maybe you moved on and got into new gaming adventures, but ‘Rock Band’, specifically its fourth installment, hasn’t abandoned you. And the proof is that in 2024 it is still releasing songs. More specifically, on the 25th it will release a DLC with the latest ones, which will complete a total of about 3000 songs.

Rock is dead

Eight years have passed since the release of ‘Rock Band 4’ and Harmonix has continued to release weekly songs. In case you have any doubts, yes: you will still be able to play any song you want and the online modes will continue to work, but there will be no more updates. If you want to play these 3000 awesome songs, you have plenty of content.

That doesn’t mean, of course, that ‘Rock Band’ is over and Harmonix’s musical dream with it, far from it: now they are giving it their all in their version of ‘Fortnite’ (the famous Fortnite Festival), where songs can be played for free… And soon they will include the possibility of doing it with the original game instruments. The truth is that compared to the use that, for example, Nintendo gives to its add-ons, it is enviable.

So far, the latest ones to be uploaded have been songs by Elton John (‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’), Foo Fighters (‘Breakout’) and Beastie Boys (‘So Wat’cha want’), but they have promised that the latest ones will be a tribute to the players who have endured for so long and to the friends we made along the way. In other words, the community. So, it’s possible that you’ll strum your guitar with a tear appearing in your eye.

By the way, in 2025 it will be ten years since the last ‘Guitar Hero’, and maybe, with a couple of improvements here and there, it’s time to bring it back, right? Playing a guitar and feeling like we’re in the middle of a concert, honestly, beats any other gaming experience.
