− | According to Harmonix, thought for the next Rock Band game came around 2017. While Rock Band 4 was a hit seller, it was penned down by credits and fans alike as being the "weakest" Rock Band game in the series, this is probably due to the fact that Rock Band 4 is the only Rock Band game that Harmonix worked on independently, without a major backer to help them in the makings of the game. |

− | To avoid making Rock Band 5 another weak entry in the series, Harmonix started seeking for a bigger video game developmer studio/publisher to buy them. Originally EA was gonna buy the indie studio like it did in 2007, but Harmonix backed down on their deal, due to what happened ''last time''. One of the workers at Harmonix studios, who was friends with the head manager of Rockstar games back then asked him if his company would be interested in buying Harmonix for the planned ''Rock Band 5'' game. |

− | A few weeks later, Rockstar games made a deal with Harmonix to partially own the rights to the Rock Band franchise, only, but they wouldn't buy the indie studio itself. After the deal was made, the Rock Band 5 was green lit, and early production stages for the game started. |

Revision as of 17:35, 22 January 2016
Rock Band 5 is a upcoming video game that is the sequel to the 2015 music rhythm game smasher, Rock Band 4. The game was developed mainly by Harmonix Music Studios, with the help of Rockstar Games, after both companies made a deal with each other to work on the game. Spotify, the company, served as the music liscence director for the game due to their connections with the music industry, making it easier to get songs for the game. Rock Band 5 contains a total of 63 on-disc songs. All previous peripherals are back again for the game, and the keyboard (introduced in Rock Band 3) is present in the game, after its absence in the previous installment of the franchise.
Gameplay
Rock Band 5 allows for 1–7 players, either locally or through online game services, to use various instrument controllers to accurately simulate the playing of music. In addition to supporting the four Basic instrument controllers from previous Rock Band games (lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals), Rock Band 5 adds support for two additional microphones for singers to provide backup vocal harmonies (previously found in The Beatles: Rock Band and Green Day: Rock Band), an electric keyboard as a re-introduced instrument (or any MIDI-compatible keyboard). The game also works for MIDI compatible electronic drum kits as well.
