Rock Band 4
Van Halen is joining Rock Band 4's lineup, which is the first time the band is appearing in the franchise. Players will first be able to play their hit 1984 track "Panama" when the game launches this October.
In addition to that track, Harmonix has announced that more music from the band will be available as post-launch DLC. There's no word on what those songs might be, so let the speculation begin.
Will you be able to see your fretboard, from the heat comin' off of it? That burning question will be answered when the game launches October 6 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Van Halen is no stranger to the rhythm-game genre. In 2009, the band appeared in a dedicated Guitar Hero: Van Halen game, featuring 28 songs from the band as well as 19 contributions from the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182, and Weezer.
