'Rock Band' DLC releases ending in April

Weekly releases of new songs for "Rock Band" have been a staple over the last five years. However, Harmonix announced Monday that new releases for the PS3 and Xbox 360 rhythm music game will end in April.

"We have managed to maintain a consistent release schedule for a staggering 275 consecutive weeks, releasing over 4,000 songs for the Rock Band Platform, but in recent months we’ve scaled production down as we’ve transitioned resources onto other projects," the company wrote on its blog. "With several new titles in development and developers needed to usher these new games along, April 2nd will be the last weekly DLC release for Rock Band."

Harmonix will continue to release new tracks for "Rock Band" and "Rock Band Blitz" over the coming weeks but currently have nothing scheduled after the April 2, 2013 release. The current 50 percent off sale on over 1,100 songs in the "Rock Band" library has also been extended along with this announcement.
