Rock Band 4 is receiving a new batch of DLC this week, continuing Harmonix's output of content for the rhythm game.
Marking the final week of Rock Band 4's Season 20 offerings, Goldfinger's classic Superman is releasing on the Rock Band store this week alongside Younger Lungs by Less Than Jake. Both energetic Ska hits will retail for $1.99 when they release on March 4th.
Fans of the Rock Band series can wrap up the most recent installment's Season 20 content with this release, which is offered as part of the game's season pass or separately. Rock Band fans still playing on the previous generation of console will be able to see their Rock Band 4 DLC carry over to their current generation counterparts when they make the move, barring a small amount of exceptions.
As with Harmonix's other DLC offerings, there are parts for the entire band available to play in the new songs, allowing for a full complement of players to join in either locally or online.
Rock Band 4 has received continued support since its 2015 release, spanning almost the entirety of the prior console generation. It's evident that Harmonix is looking at extending this streak into the new generation, defying expectations that the peripheral-based music genre would peter out. After the genre took a heavy hit with the death of Guitar Hero, a game largely credited as the catalyst behind the genre's late 2000's boom, some expected Rock Band to go much the same way.
Despite the game's initial, and ongoing, issues with actually getting Rock Band controllers into the hands of players, Rock Band 4 has proven itself well enough to push through a lull in the rhythm game genre's popularity. Moving forward into the next generation consoles, and Season 21 of Rock Band, Harmonix seems to have eked out a strong, nigh-uncontested position to start the next phase of the music game's lifespan.
Rock Band 4 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
