Harmonix went on to find more success with Audica (2019), a more abstract VR rhythm game built around target shooting. With Quest’s pick-up-and-play nature, it’ll be interesting to see how well it fares on that headset. Unplugged may not have multiplayer, but at least it doesn’t require any extra peripherals. Unfortunately the game wasn’t exactly a hit, perhaps because of the hardware requirements and a lack of any kind of multiplayer functionality (which has been core to Rock Band’s DNA). Harmonix, the studio behind the series, was actually an early adopter of VR and released Rock Band VR back in 2017 on Rift though you needed one of the series’ guitar controllers to play (and an adapter to connect your VR controller to the guitar to track it). You might be wondering to yourself, “why not just do the real Rock Band in VR?” Well, actually that already exists. Rock Band 2 is able to fully integrate current and future Rock Band DLC into its setlist. The studio has also recruited Steel Panther guitarist Russ “Satchel” Parrish to be the in-game mentor to guide players through the experience. There is a great amount of downloadable content (DLC) available for purchase for Rock Band. More songs are expected to be announced prior to launch. The Offspring – The Kids Aren’t Alright.While Harmonix notes that theyre very pleased with Unplugged s performance, the weekly DLC releases will no longer be coming. Harmonix has apparently decided to pull the plug on the service. The Electric Alley – Searching For The Truth No wonder Rock Band Unplugged DLC has been conspicuously absent from Harmonixs past two weekly Rock Band DLC releases.The studio also announced a partial song list for Unplugged featuring some well known rock songs: We’ve reached out to the studio for clarity. Many Pimax headsets include controllerless finger-tracking from Ultraleap, but it isn’t clear if they will be supported either.

HTC Vive headsets technically support controllerless finger-tracking, though it’s rare to see it implemented. The studio seems to indicate that other finger-tracking hardware could be supported, but it isn’t entirely clear which they are be referring to.

Later this year the game will also come to PC VR, though it will only support hardware with full finger-tracking, which primarily means any headset using Index controllers (unfortunately Oculus hasn’t brought Quest’s hand-tracking to Rift S). Today developer Anotherway announced that the Unplugged release date is set for October 21st on Quest. The game definitely builds on the vibes of classic instrument-based rhythm games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but this time without the plastic guitar. Unplugged, on the other hand, is using hand-tracking in a creative way which promises to finally make your air guitar a reality. Today developer Anotherway announced the game’s release date for October 21st on Oculus Quest, and affirmed that a PC VR version will launch later this year.Īs far as controllerless hand-tracking games on Quest go, the vast majority are using the tech for simple pinch and poke interactions (though we’ve seen some really cool ideas out there). Unplugged is an upcoming VR rhythm game which makes use of full finger-tracking for a Rock Band-like experience, but with an ‘air guitar’ instead of a plastic peripheral.
