Rock Band 4 Announced

Mad Catz Interactive announced today an agreement with Harmonix Music Systems to launch Rock Band 4, the next generation of the social and interactive music-gaming experience, later this year for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Mad Catz will develop and manufacture a new generation of wireless Rock Band 4 music game controllers. The launch products include:

• Band-in-a-Box Bundle, which includes the Rock Band 4 game, a Wireless Fender Stratocaster Guitar Controller, a Wireless Drum Kit Controller and a Microphone.
• Guitar Bundle, which includes the Rock Band 4 game and a Wireless Fender Stratocaster Guitar Controller.

In addition to the on-disc soundtrack, Rock Band 4 will support the over 2000 tracks released since the 2007 debut of the original Rock Band, accounting for more than 500 of rock music’s most legendary artists.

In addition, players who have purchased or downloaded music 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 – added regularly after launch.
