"When we stopped developing Rock Band 3 [in 2010], clearly the market needed a break," Alex Rigopulos, CEO of Harmonix, explained to IGN recently. "But since then we've been paying close attention to what our community has been saying about it. There's been this steadily growing crescendo of fans saying, 'Hey Harmonix, what the hell? It's time! Why haven't you announced a new Rock Band? We're ready for it!'"

According to this announcement news, any previous in-game purchases from the other Rock Band titles will transfer to this new version when it is released later this year. Check out this behind-the-scenes video from the developers, talking more about Rock Band 4:
