Rock star simulator Rock Band 4 will be getting online multiplayer later this year, developer Harmonix has announced, allowing people to play their plastic instruments as part of a full band even if they're home alone. The update bringing the feature to the game is due out during the holiday period later this year, following the addition of a new practice mode in June, and an expansion pack slated to arrive this fall.

Harmonix's Rock Band games have always been best when played over local multiplayer with a full band of your friends in the room, but it's not always possible to wheel your pals over whenever you're in the mood for a plastic jam session. An online multiplayer mode has therefore been a common request for the fans, allowing them to gain in convenience what they lose in shared camaraderie, and letting you get the full band experience without scheduling a house party. Key to the experience will be a solid connection, however, to ensure your inputs are correctly registered in time with the music — we'll find out later this year if Harmonix's netcode is up to the task.

Rock Band 4" will be getting a major feature sometime later in 2016. The game's first expansion is also among the content lined up to arrive to the game later this year.

Harmonix announced during a panel at the PAX East 2016 that synchronous online multiplayer is returning to "Rock Band 4." Synchronous online multiplayer is one of the most requested features and is something that the developer has been thinking of integrating to the game before it even released, Harmonix revealed in a post at the PlayStation Blog. The feature, of course, will allow a group of players to enjoy the game from anywhere.

"We're still early in the design phases here, but the idea behind here is to give you Quickplay-esque gameplay, while addressing some concerns around DLC library mismatches and giving everyone chances to pick songs," Josh Harrison, community manager at Harmonix, said in a blog post.

Synchronous online multiplayer is scheduled to arrive during the holidays. But before that, Harmonix plans to release "Rock Band 4's" first expansion pack. Arriving in the fall, the upcoming expansion pack will include "brand-new, never-before-seen features" that will add "some really interesting ways" to play the game. The expansion pack launches alongside the rollout of some music library enhancements, including better filtering options and thumbs up or thumbs down feature.

The online multiplayer, expansion pack, and music library enhancements are just the latter part of Harmonix content map for 2016. While waiting for these to arrive, "Rock Band 4" players can set their eyes on next month's content drop. In May, Harmonix will introduce "Battleborn" characters Miko and Thorn into the game and the ability to use a second drum pedal. In June, players can take advantage of a new practice mode to master songs.

Harmonix promised to provide more details about "Rock Band 4's" upcoming content at the E3 2016. "Rock Band 4" is available on Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.
