A new report suggests that Harmonix is working on a Rock Band game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Bloomberg cited an anonymous source who confirmed the game's development and target platforms to the publication.

The Bloomberg report is the latest in a series rumours that has fans hopeful for a franchise reboot. Earlier this week, Harmonix announced two new downloadable tracks for Rock Band 3, and hinted that both have "great titles": Tenacious D's "Rize of the Fenix" and Weezer's "Back To The Shack".

In January, Harmonix circulated a survey asking participants to rank the importance of a number of Rock Band features ranging from backwards compatibility and online multiplayer, to a fixed campaign mode.

Speaking in a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything in May 2014, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said, "Of course I was sad when Rock Band passed its (first!) peak, but one way or another, it will be back."

"Music games need to evolve just like every aspect of pop culture. The band game boom was followed by a dance game boom, which will be followed by some other manifestation of music games - hopefully some of the new stuff Harmonix is working on.

"Music is a permanent aspect of the human experience, and so is gameplay. It’s Harmonix’s job to figure out new ways for music and gameplay to amplify each other’s emotional power. Stand by."
