Harmonix is developing a new Rock Band game for Xbox One and PS4, according to a report from Bloomberg Business.

Bloomberg says its information comes from "a person familiar with the plan." If the report is correct, this new game is the first in the Rock Band series since Rock Band Blitz was released in 2012.

We reached out to Harmonix for clarification. They didn't outright confirm or deny the report in their response below:

“We’re excited by how enthusiastic our fans have been in regards to our most recent DLC releases, and we think it’s awesome that people are speculating about the future of the franchise!

While we still don’t have anything to announce, hundreds of thousands of unique users are still actively playing Rock Band games each month. This passion our fans have shown for Rock Band over the years suggests that rock truly hasn’t died, and we’ve always been clear that we’d love to return to the franchise when the time is right.”

Last month, Harmonix sent out a survey asking which current-gen platforms people own, and whether they would be "inclined" to pre-order a new Rock Band game.

Here's hoping someone makes an Xbox 360 -> PS4 adapter for the instruments. I'm not buying a whole new kit...

Have things like that been done before? I find it hard to believe an Xbox anything would function on a Sony console.
 
Something like this, although they usually don't have 100% game compatibility, or some other thing that doesn't work quite right.
 
The Guitar Hero parties we used to have were legendary! It is about time for the full band experience returns! And please, make it about the music and not force some sort of lame story to it...
