Rumors have been increasing about a potential Rock Band 4 on next-gen consoles. Speculations may be over as a source close to the Harmonix team, the developers, recently revealed there is a next-gen Rock Band in the works.

Developer Harmonix has not yet officially released the news, however they are due to liven up the next generation with another Rock Band soon. Since 2007 the Rock Band franchise has sold over 10 billion units featuring over 4,000 songs. In addition they’ve successfully encouraged players to start a band using several instruments just like the pros.

With the power of next-gen consoles, the sky is only the limit for Rock Band 4. The faster hardware and advanced technology within PS4s and Xbox Ones inevitably will enhance instruments, tunes, and the overall experience of playing in a rock band. Previous-gen Rock Bands allowed players to customize their musicians and bands with tons of options. With next-gen power; customizable logos, images, or even face importing is possible.

Several other video games have begun using the advancements to personalize a player’s experience. When Harmonix developed Rock Band for gamers it not only produced a fun way to experience music, they essentially harmonized gamers and music. It’s possible they’ll build on this harmonization by enabling players to import images for their band logos, or even face textures enabling players to see themselves on stage rockin n rollin.

Without a doubt social media has grown significantly since the first release of Rock Band back in 2007. As a result next-gen consoles enables easy access to social media sites such as; YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Having a variety of social media connections enables Rock Band players to become rockstars in the comfort of their own home. Playing live songs or uploading concerts will definitely allow thousands or millions to see players perform.

Again, the sky is only the limit for Rock Band 4 as it moves into the next-gen consoles. I for one shall look forward to becoming a next-generation rockstar.
