Archer’s Coming to Rock Band

Archer’s Coming to Rock Band

Archer , the goofy 2D-animated show about a private investigator and spy with a chip on his shoulder named Sterling Archer, is coming to Rock Band 4 ? Oh, also, some song about dangerous highways or something is coming along for the ride too.

Kenny Loggins’ “Highway to the Danger Zone” is coming to Rock Band 4 , and Top Gun isn’t the only pop culture phenomenon associated with the song. Archer ’s character is also tied closely to the song, and Harmonix was able to cut a deal with FXX and Floyd County Productions to bring the character to life in Rock Band- form.

The cool thing is, since Archer’s style is very cartoonish, Harmonix built cel-shading into the Rock Band 4 engine just for this new cameo. He stands out like a sore thumb against the normal, pseudo-realistic style, but it works.

Alongside Archer, the March 16 update to Rock Band 4 will include other types of content, including new punk rock outfit options and a bass guitar modeled after the Normandy, Mass Effect ’s signature space vessel.
