'Rock Band 4' Panel Confirms Incoming Online Multiplayer, Practice Mode, And Fall Expansion Pack
Plus, double-kick support.
At a PAX East panel today, 'Rock Band 4' developer Harmonix laid out a list of incoming features for the game, including some long-awaited fan requests. Here's a quick summary of the timeline for these updates.
In May, support for a double kick pedal setup will launch in the game, followed by an incoming Practice Mode in June, where players will be able to nail down those tricky solos that they just can't tackle at full tempo.
After these features roll out, players won't see anything new until the fall, when Harmonix will drop a 'Rock Band 4' expansion pack. No concrete information about this expansion was given, but the developer promised "big features." Also coming in the fall will be improvements to the game's Music Library, giving players the ability to filter and hide songs, among other added functionality.

Finally, the year will end for 'Rock Band 4' players with the launch of online multiplayer, a popular request among the fanbase. The developers also teased undefined features that they haven't announced yet.
.@joshharrison: Good news: online multiplayer isn't even the "big feature" we teased a month ago! We have so much more to share. #RBPanel
