We will, we will Rockband you
March 9, 2010 - Viacom CEO and President Philippe Dauman confirmed during today's Credit Suisse 2010 Global Media and Communications Convergence Conference the company plans to release Rock Band 3 this holiday. The game will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts.
While no details were given at this time, Rock Band 3 will "innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band," according to the game's developer.
Much speculation has surrounded Rock Band 3 for the past year. While still unconfirmed, it appears Harmonix may be looking to revamp the standardized plastic instruments.
In a previous interview, Dhani Harrison, son of Beatles legend George Harrison and developer on The Beatles: Rock Band, said the next Rock Band game will feature new controllers that allows players to learn music rather than simply playing along.
The game may also feature songs from guitar legend Jimi Hendrix, as his stepsister, Janie Hendrix, noted in an interview last month that a "new edition" of Rock Band would feature his music.
We're hoping to receive more details soon. Stay tuned.
