Rock Band developer Harmonix has been sold to a private investment firm.
Former owner Viacom announced it would be selling Harmonix in November.
New York-based private investment firm Columbus Nova purchased the Rock Band and Dance Central developer, Viacom has confirmed today.
"We’re happy to confirm the news today that the sale of the company is complete. We appreciate all of your support, comments and warm wishes in the preceding few weeks," said Harmonix on its forum.
The news of the sale makes Harmonix an independent and privately owned studio although the developer says for now that it will continue to support previous released titles:
"We’re excited to be returning to our roots as an independent and privately owned studio. As for what it means for you, the DLC schedule marches on for Rock Band, we will continue our support of previously released titles and we’re hard at work on some unannounced projects that we think you’re going to be pumped about."
Rock Band 3 launched in October on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.
