In line with the new songs report, Harmonix designer Ali Thresher revealed in an interview with IGN that "Rock Band 4" will feature new gameplay experience.
Thresher revealed that the gameplay will feature a campaign mode where players could enjoy performing and tour around the world online.
"When we started looking at all the new features we have in the game, mechanically, it just made sense for us to build this epic, branching story where instead of taking one rise to fame path through the world," said Thresher. "You know, you go from your hometown to being the biggest band in the world, you choose...what kind of band you are."
"Rock Band 4" will be made available to the new generation consoles like PS4 and Xbox One, however Harmonix has decided not to release the game on PC.
"The library is not there on PC," Project lead Daniel Sussman told Eurogamer via Game Spot. "The library is there on Xbox and PlayStation. So, for players who want it on PC, really you're looking at a new audience that hasn't played before, and I don't know to what degree there is an audience for new players who have never played Rock Band before on the PC. That's one piece of it."
The decision to not release the game to PC had something to do with music piracy.
"The other piece is all the security issues, to be perfectly frank," Sussman said. "There's something comforting about the closed network that comes along with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That's important to our partners in the music industry. Not to say that's an unsolvable problem."
"We're not concerned about software piracy on PC. We have and will release games for PC. In fact, last year we released A City Sleeps for PC, Mac, and Linux. As Daniel stated, the security in question is related to licensed music in the game. PlayStation4 and Xbox One have robust functionality in that area. It's added security that's handled by the platform holders. In the case of more open platforms like PC, we're responsible for that. It's something we can build. It's not off the table for the future, however we're first focusing on delivering Rock Band 4 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One this holiday."
