We’ve all been here before, and it seems all too familiar. A promising new music game falls victim to the perils of being niche and under-performing in the hostile retail world.
We had noticed that BandFuse had been pretty quiet on the social media front. They hadn’t updated their Facebook since February 28th and their twitter activity was close to non-existent. Our suspicions of bad news were confirmed hours ago via their Facebook Page:
@BandFuse This is truly terrible news. I hope it can get resolved soon. I hold out hope that there will be more DLC coming in the future.

Woah woah woah, what happened with Bandfuse/Realta?

I was really looking forward to playing Bandfuse when it would come to the UK. Another nail in the coffin for music games 🙁

We will update with more information regarding future content and patches as it becomes available.
Update 3/14/2014:
Future DLC may still be released.
Update 3/17/2014:
“One parting tip – Its my understanding that Hendrix’s “Foxey Lady (Live) is suppose to come out from being a “hidden” track and only available by code at the end of this month. Check the store and grab it, its an awesome version of the song!
Until we meet again…”
All good things come to an end. MY time at @BandFuse is over today. Its been a lot of fun. THANKS 4 UR support! http://t.co/pHky3fF5PS
