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™. With FUSER, Harmonix will once again completely revolutionize the music game genre by providing an immersive music sandbox in which players are challenged to perform and create custom mixes from some of music's biggest hits – no peripheral required.

"With FUSER, we are delivering the ultimate music fantasy as a game," said Steve Janiak, CEO, Harmonix. "Music today is an experience.

"It takes the amazing developer pedigree that Harmonix has developed over decades and distills the essence of creating, listening to, and sharing music where every player can be their own star. We can't wait to see all the creations people will make."
