Harmonix, the Boston-based game studio known for music game series like the original Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Central, and more recently FUSER, has been acquired by Epic Games. Details on the transactions were not disclosed at this time.
Alex Rigopulos, Co-Founder and Chairman at Harmonix, stated:
Will you keep doing Rivals Seasons? Yup! We’ve got a fun Season 25 already planned and plenty of ideas for Season 26 and beyond.
What about FUSER events? No change there either!
Does this mean more Rock Band instruments will be made? This is not in our current plans.
Will FUSER and your other games still be available on Steam? Yes, all our games will remain available on Steam and console.
What about the servers for [INSERT HARMONIX GAME HERE]? Will those be taken offline? We aren’t planning to change the way we support any of our older games.
