Late May launch for MTV Games/Harmonix's long-awaited rocking title...
After a wait that has lasted months, Electronic Arts has today announced that MTV Games/Harmonix's Rock Band will finally launch in the UK from May 23rd...on Xbox 360.
The game, a major rival to Activision's Guitar Hero, has proved popular in North America, where it was released at the end of 2007. Bringing together drums, vocals, and guitars, Rock Band has secured master recordings from artists such as Nine Inch Nails, The Pixies, Aerosmith, Metallica, and Nirvana.
In addition to the fifty-eight tracks that made it onto the original release, the European version will also include a further nine songs:
- Blur "Beetlebum" (English)
- Oasis "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (English)
- Tokio Hotel "Monsoon" (English)
- Muse "Hysteria" (English)
- Les Wampas "Manu Chao" (French)
- Playmo "New Wave" (French)
- Die Toten Hosen "Hier Kommt Alex" (German)
- Juli "Perfekte Welle" (German)
- H-Block X "Countdown to Insanity" (German)
EA also confirmed that weekly downloadable content for the title will be released simultaneously across both North America and Europe within weeks of the launch. The seventy songs already available across the pond is set to go live in Europe four days after launch, from May 27th for 160 Microsoft Points each.
An official price has yet to be confirmed, and even the major online retailers are holding back on an estimated cost. The additional platforms are expected to receive their own gig later in the summer.
[UPDATE] EA has confirmed that the bundle for Rock Band will retail for £180, with a Solus edition retailing at £49.99.
