I’m not sure about you guys, but I still enjoy games like Rock Band, Guitar Hero and all that jazz, and if you share those sentiments, you might be pleased to learn that Harmonix has not abandoned the franchise entirely. The company recently revealed their new game called Fantasia: Music Evolved, which is a new game for the Xbox and takes advantage of the Kinect and was developed together with the folks at Disney. With this new game, many were wondering what would happen to the company’s Rock Band franchise; would it fizzle out in favor of other games?
Speaking to the folks at VentureBeat, Harmonix’s CEO, Alex Rigopulos, reassured fans that the franchise is still alive and well and is not gone forever, and in fact will probably return someday in the future albeit in a reimagined form. According to Rigopulos, “I’ll also say that we don’t view Rock Band as something that’s being left behind […] It’s something we’ll return to at the right point in time and reimagine it as appropriate for its time.” We can’t really imagine what this “reimagined” form will be like, but if you’ve ever had fond memories jamming together with your friends and family on the game, you will still be able to look forward to it at some time in the distant future.
