Hardware manufacturer Performance Designed Products (PDP) recently announced its new Riffmaster controller, a guitar peripheral that’ll be initially compatible with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4. It’s the first notable device of its kind since the halcyon days of Harmonix and Neversoft’s Rock Band and Guitar Hero franchises, respectively.
It seems like a strange choice to manufacture a guitar controller given the niche market, but, in actuality, it makes a lot more sense than you might think. Fortnite Festival is practically begging for the existence of such a controller, and it’ll likely add years of life to Rock Band 4, which has just recently concluded its support for new, downloadable tracks.
