Fuser Is The Next Rhythm Game To Let Us Mix Things Up

By

Fuser

A new rhythm game, Fuser, is announced from Harmonix with Fuser having us play DJ without the need of getting more peripherals

There is proof that the rhythm game genre is not dead and shows no signs of dying anytime soon, as we now have the announcement of Fuser to look at. This is the next title in the mix from Harmonix that will have us playing with and mixing up songs from many different genres to enjoy all of the sounds. As the name suggests, Fuser will have us fusing together various songs in a catalog to craft one master song. More or less we are going to get to play DJ yet again. The true kicker here, we will not need to pick up any peripherals or outside hardware to play on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, or PC. Something we have not had for some time here.

The actual gameplay for Fuser seems a bit odd, as there has yet to be a solid breakdown of just how it will all go. We have some to look at along with some screenshots but the most that can be gleaned is that we will tack vocals, bass lines and other parts from various other songs to blend together. Looking closely at what we do have to see for Fuser so for, it looks like there will be queues to follow and this is how we will score in the song. So, it may not let us have full freedom to create what we want in the short run. That does not stop us from getting to mix up “Regulate” with “Rock The Casbah” and then “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”. An interesting mix indeed.

Fuser — Announcement

NCSOFT and Harmonix Music Systems, the developer of the Rock Band video game franchise, will empower players to perform and create sharable mixes for the masses as they play Fuser, the next evolution of interactive music gaming. The game puts players in control of the music, where they can fuse together elements from hit songs by some of the world’s top artists, including Billie Eilish, The Chainsmokers, Imagine Dragons, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Migos, Post Malone, and many more. Fuser will release in 2020 for PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.

Harmonix has been a pioneer of interactive music gaming for nearly 25 years, having created titles like Frequency and Amplitude as well as genre-defining, breakout hits like Rock Band and Dance Central.

Powered by Harmonix’s proprietary technology, Fuser will allow players to seamlessly blend vocals, bass lines, and other instrumentation from a multitude of different music genres and artists to define their own unique sound through seamless, innovative gameplay. Players will also be able to share their creations socially, making their game performances available for watching online.
