Harmonix said it wouldn't need to make another Rock Band game after Rock Band 4, but the studio is making an exception for a new medium: virtual reality. The studio is working on a project called Rock Band VR that is in development for the Oculus Rift.
Rock Band VR made its debut at The Game Awards 2015. A trailer showed off gameplay in an audience-facing view from the stage — which, oddly enough, is the same kind of experience that Guitar Hero Live delivered this year. The player was hammering away on a floating guitar, except it was a Rock Band guitar controller, not something meant to resemble a real instrument. The trailer was preceded by a goofy video featuring Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, developers from Harmonix and the band DragonForce.
