Update: Harmonix's director of communications and brand management, John Drake, points out on Twitter that VidRhythm "isn't a game per se." That opens up the possibilities for something much different than your typical touch-based rhythm game. It also makes it much more difficult to give an educated guess as to what it could be. With the game coming soon, we should hopefully learn more before long.
Original Story: A trademark for VidRhythm popped up last month, inadvertently revealing the name of a new Harmonix game. Besides confirming that it was a game it's working on, the Rock Band and Dance Central maker didn't share any details about it. While we still don't know its exact nature, we do now have word that it's coming to iOS platforms.
VidRhythm is just one of several games in development at Harmonix, where Dance Central 2 and a music game for 3DS are known to be coming. Speaking with Gamasutra, CEO Alex Rigopulos looks at this as "our first iOS release as a studio."
Harmonix did have a hand in bringing Phase to iPods (seen in the video above) and Rock Band to the App Store, but the difference is that VidRhythm is being handled entirely by Harmonix.
After pointing out that it's "coming out relatively soon," Rigopulos said, "We think there are a lot of creative opportunities [with smartphones] that we haven't really been able to focus on yet. So we're looking forward to doing more in that space."
He wasn't willing to share details on what sort of gameplay we can expect. Harmonix has always been known for music and rhythm games, so something in that vague genre seems like a lock (especially given the name), although the particulars are anyone's guess.
