"Harmonix Ends Rock Band DLC After 16 Years, Shifts Focus to Fortnite"

After 16 years and approximately 2,800 downloadable releases, Harmonix is ending Rock Band's regular DLC song releases on January 25, but previously purchased songs will remain playable in Rock Band 4. Despite the decline in popularity of plastic instrument games, Harmonix has continued to release new downloadable tracks for Rock Band 4 every week since its 2015 release. The community behind Clone Hero, a PC-based rhythm game, has also recently hit an official Version 1.0 release. Harmonix, now owned by Epic, is working on integrating Rock Band 4 instruments into Fortnite and will continue to offer a rotating selection of free-to-play songs in the game.
