Viacom-owned Rock Band and Dance Central creator Harmonix is for sale.
According to a WSJ report, the music game developer “has dragged on [parent Viacom's] results for the past several quarters” now, and the media giant is looking to unload the Boston-based studio it bought just four years ago.
No word on any possible buyers yet, but the sale is believed to happen fast; the studio is “worth more to [third-parties] than it is to us,” a rep said on an investors call earlier today, expecting the sale to be “completed expeditiously.”
Harmonix’s latest releases are Rock Band 3 and Kinect favorite Dance Central.
