Harmonix has a virtual reality trick up its sleeve.
The developer revealed Rock Band VR today during The Game Awards, a version of the rhythm game for the virtual reality device Oculus Rift. Harmonix only revealed a 2016 release date. The Oculus Rift comes in the first quarter of 2016.

Rock Band 4 came out earlier this year for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was a traditional sequel based on previous games in the series, which itself was an evolution of Guitar Hero.
