<\/div>\n

Of all the birthdays, the 4th<\/sup> birthday may be the best. You\u2019re old enough to know what you want but young enough to get away with being bratty. It\u2019s awesome. When we reflect on Rock Band 4<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u2019s first four years, RB4<\/em> feels like a 4-year-old. Rock Band has grown a lot over the last 4 years \u2013 the game has gotten bigger: with added songs, features, and other content. We\u2019ve also seen growth in the Rock Band audience \u2013 we\u2019ve watched Rivals become the premier competitive mode of the game, with crews competing to get promoted each week.<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday to You, from Us<\/strong><\/p>\n

To celebrate the occasion, we have put together an update to the game, with some bug fixes and new content available to all Rock Band 4<\/em> players. We are also releasing a free pack of DLC that features 4 Harmonix bands. These bands were chosen specifically to showcase the diverse talent of the Harmonix staff \u2013 we have a song from the band, \u201cShocked Laura,\u201d an upbeat pop song that was composed for Dance Central<\/em>. We have a song from \u201cOrion\u201d (proud member of the Rock Band DLC team) which features super smooth futuresque synthpop. We have a new song from Rock Band veterans \u201cNewfane\u201d (featuring Chris Rigopulos, our COO and arguably biggest RB fan in the office) and a song from \u201cDuck & Cover\u201d \u2013 my own bratty punk band. I love the eclectic-ness of the pack and hope you enjoy it (did I mention, it\u2019s free?).<\/p>\n

Join Us for Rivals Season 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

As turn our gaze towards the future of the Rock Band franchise, a clear path emerges \u2013 it is our great pleasure to delight the music community with DLC and Rivals<\/em> challenges. It\u2019s been nice to see the reception to the Season 13 rewards, after floaty heads and wings, a full set of instruments is a nice grounding reward. That said, we\u2019ve got some exciting content in the hopper for 2020 \u2014 we can\u2019t wait to share it with you. Also, in case you are just tuning in, we have our lucky 13th<\/sup> season of Rivals<\/em> happening right now \u2014 this is an excellent time to jump in and join the fray.<\/p>\n

Birthday Gifts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you are thinking, \u201cCool! What do you want for your birthday, Rock Band?\u201d Well, nothing would make us happier than to have you fire up your Xbox One, strap on your guitar, pick up your drum sticks, grab the mic and join us for a song or two. We\u2019re proud to have made it this far and are looking forward to rocking with you through the holiday and into next year (and beyond!!).<\/p>\n
