After taking a year off from the annual franchise to work on its first artist-specific game, The Beatles: Rock Band, it seems that Harmonix Music is making a spectacular return for the third official instalment.
MCV UK recently interviewed executive vice president and general manager of MTV Games, Scott Guthrie, to discuss the company’s plans for moving the Rock Band series into 2010.
When asked about whether we could expect another genre-spanning title like the first two games or one focused on a particular artist like The Beatles: Rock Band, Guthrie confirmed the possibility of both.
"Were exploring both, and possibly will do both," Guthrie said. "The Harmonix development team are working on what is effectively the next game, or Rock Band 3."
But rather than releasing another package with a recycled interface and newer set lists, Guthrie promises that its new titles will invigorate the music genre and continue to entertain.
"We arent standing still….its [a] pretty exciting time for the future of our music game business."
Rock Band 3 aside, the highly-praised Rock Band 2 is yet to see the light of day here in Australia. The second instalment, which is several months overdue, contains features like online play and downloadable content that were missing from the original game. With The Beatles: Rock Band out in a few short weeks, when exactly we can expect a local release of Rock Band 2 is anyones guess.
