Ring in 2021 with Rock Band 4 Rivals

Rock Band is celebrating the start of 2021 with its 20^th season of Rock Band Rivals! We’re turning the clock back and revisiting 8 of our most popular previous challenges from the last 20 seasons, as voted on by the Rock Band community. If you still haven’t checked out Rock Band Rivals, we invite all RB4 players to join a crew and see what it’s all about! And if you haven’t played Rock Band on your all-new Xbox Series X, wait until you see the load times!

Join a Crew, Rock the World

From January 13 through January 19 (the first week of Season 20), everyone who owns RB4 will have access to the Rivals Expansion. That gives you exclusive access to Rockudrama, the hilarious campaign that sets you as the star of your very own live-action rock documentary, online Quickplay, and the eponymous Rivals mode, which is where the heart of the action is. Jump into Rivals by joining a Crew and competing head-to-head weekly. For those of you who haven’t played in a while, or have been curious about the Rivals Expansion, now’s a great time to check out all the cool stuff it adds to the Rock Band 4 experience!

Are You Ready to Rock?

The first challenge of Rivals Season 20 calls back to the first challenge from Season 1, “Ready To Rock?”, which highlighted our namesake: Rock music. We’ve refreshed the challenge with an updated song list designed to highlight the new Rock hits that we’ve released since 2017. We’re kicking things off with new DLC featuring songs from Machine Gun Kelly and Anarbor.

Play Rivals, Win Rewards

Each season of Rivals features an exclusive set of Rock Shop assets for each tier. To celebrate our 20^th season, we’re giving you a chance at two sets of past Rock Shop rewards that were overwhelmingly requested by the community: The Season 11 instrument sets, and the elusive Season 0 t-shirts. There has never been a better time to jump into a crew, fight your way to Bloodstone, and collect them all.

Normally I’d say thanks for a great 2020, but you know…

This was a wild year, and through it all we’re just happy that so many people could find an ounce of comfort rocking out with their friends and family from a distance. We’ll be with you again all year bringing new songs to Rock Band 4, so don’t go anywhere!
