Being a rockstar isn’t cheap. Game developer Harmonix has raised $15 million in equity funding, according to the Boston Business Journal. It had 14 undisclosed investors. This comes right before Harmonix releases Rock Band 4 on October 6 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
At first glance, Harmonix’s return to consoles with Rock Band 4 looks and sounds mostly similar to its predecessors. Note prompts rain down from the top of the screen while players do their best to keep up on guitar and drum controllers to some of rock music’s most popular tunes.
