Harmonix Announces Auto-Runner Record Run Mobile Game
At PAX East, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said that the company isn't done with the Rock Band and Dance Central franchises, but that's not the only news coming out of the show from the company. The developer also announced a new auto-run game for mobile systems called Record Run.
Earlier today, Harmonix official twitter account announced the game,
Announced at PAX East, @RecordRun is a new rhythm-runner coming soon to mobile from Harmonix! Stay tuned.

It sounds like Record Run will take music already downloaded onto a players mobile device and then create an auto-run platforming level similar to Gaijin Games' Bit.Trip Runner series. Record Run will be a free-to-play title when it releases, but we don't have a date to pin to it just yet.
Our Take
I've always enjoyed Harmonix products – even the company's previous iOS app, VidRhythm. Hopefully, the company will find some success with this new mobile game; the concept sounds solid enough.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
